Mobile devices with the Android operating system collect data about nearby cell towers in the background and send this information to Google, writes the publication Quartz. Such data is also jordan mobile database on devices with the SIM card removed and geolocation disabled. Google, to which Quartz journalists sent a corresponding request, confirmed the fact of collecting data on Cell ID - unique identifiers of cell towers. The publication draws attention to the fact that using data from several towers, it is possible to determine a person's location with an accuracy of up to 500 m.

Unlike many other companies, Google immediately commented on the results of the investigation. Its representative stated that data on cell towers is indeed transmitted to the company through the system responsible for push notifications, but they are allegedly not used in any way and are not stored on servers. Google explained its behavior by studying the possibilities of improving the notification delivery system. However, it is unclear what relation cell tower identifiers have to this. The company promised to change the system settings so that data on user movements is no longer transmitted to its servers.
