The Answer is YES: It gathers data about how you use devices, apps, and services. This ranges from your browsing behavior, Gmail and YouTube activity, location history, search, online purchases, and many more. Basically, anything that’s connected to Google that tracks your activity and preferences.

Many people have questions about Google’s collecting data and how it gathers information. In particular, people worry about voice-activated products like Search, Home, and Assistant to listen to more than just requests to buy toilet paper or play music in the living room.

Google’s product Search tracking many details about you whenever you use your Gmail account on your computer, laptop, tablet, and phone. If you choose, you can configure Google to stop tracking you — at least, for the most part — though if you do, you’ll lose the benefit of all of Its personalization features.
