What do you mean "search history turned off"?
I'm not sure I understand.
Also, I'm not a UI/UX expert, but Google suite has "Account Settings" where I would have expected to be able to see/change my address, but the option is not there. I use a limited subset of Google products (GMail, Calendar, Youtube, Google Docs, Maps etc...) but the possibility of changing the address was in the only product I haven't used since 2014 (I checked it because someone else, on a forum, pointed me to it).
Now the address is updated, but I have no idea to check if my Data Controller will remain the same or it will be Google LLC.
They should give us an explicit option to check/set what Data Controller we have, not infer it from a single product (which in my case wasn't used anymore).
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoThere is a toggle to control whether Google keeps track of your search history. I suppose there's a separate toggle for location history. If you have those turned off, Google does not record that data, and there would be no way for them to derive your location even in theory.
- frollo 7y agoEven if you keep track of location history, Google can get it wrong anyway (I know, because I gave up the idea of having my home address in Google Maps a year ago - it doesn't seem to learn that I've moved out, even after updating my address in Google Pay).
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoThere is a separate setting for your home address in Google Maps. You have to update it there.
- frollo 7y agoI did, but it keeps reverting back to what it thinks it learned from my driving habits. Somehow, it doesn't seem to realize that I leave every morning from the same address and get back to it every evening.
