UPDATE: I've updated the article removing the "illegal" words. Since it doesn't seem to be clear if this is legal or not from their side, I think it's right to give it the benefit of the doubt.

- andreagrandi 7y agolet’s try to keep the technical mistake separate from the legal bit. I think their email is entirely legit if I was living in UK, but I don’t. Also: honestly, I use Google Maps almost everyday. Even without asking me I think they have plenty of data on me to clearly see I’ve been living in Italy in the last year and half.
