When you decide to use Google Now, you’re turning on location
reporting and location history. Google Now also uses location
information provided by Google’s location service and GPS, if
those are currently turned on.
Google Now also uses data that you may have stored in other
Google products. For example, if you have searches stored in
your Web History, Google Now can show cards based on sports
scores, flight status, and so on.
Similarly, Google Now can use data that you may have stored
in third-party products that you allow Google to access. For
example, your tablet’s synced calendar may include entries from
non-Google calendar products. If you have such an entry for a
dentist appointment that includes the dentist’s address, Google
Now can check traffic and suggest when to leave.
You’re in control. You can choose exactly which cards you’d like
to see, adjust the details of what they display, and adjust your
privacy settings.
For more information about Google Now and your location
information, see
“Chapter 5, Use Google Now & Search.”
