I'm gonna go against the common theme here where the answer is "most certainly not".
google has massive amounts of data from various sources, between their products, advertisments and affiliates/third parties, they have way more data points than you imagine.
speaking of third parties, and the freemium economy, advertising, tracking and other data mining operations also have vast amounts of information about you. that free flashlight app you installed? has your location even when it's not running. also it serves ads, now any advertiser can access your location. and that bullshit about anonymization? there are more techniques to de-anonymize data than they're are to anonymize.
you bet someone out there can pin point your location, from now and 10 years back, what you searched for, what games you played sitting on the toilet, etc.
that's related to the AdInt industry. (advertising intelligence)
