How precisely does Google determine which of its users are UK users?
For example, I lived in the UK when I opened my Google account(s), but now I live in Portugal. Do I need to inform Google of this somehow. Do they look at my payment information, or at my recent logins? I certainly cannot see any 'what country do you live in' options in my account settings.
I'd certainly prefer to keep any EU data protections should I have the choice.
