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 phone’s synced calendar may include
entries from non-Google calendar products.
If you have a synced calendar entry for a den-
tist 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 de-
tails of what they display, and adjust your pri-
vacy settings.
