Then they probably don't need to go where you go, AT ALL

One option is to get a dual-sim phone, one for the Girlfriend Google and one for everything else.

Maybe, but that doesn't stop the app from collecting your data?

I've never tried it, (got nothing to hide  ) but there is the option for multiple user accounts on Android phones.
I'm assuming each account has its own storage and are separate from each other, using that feature with two Sim cards should be the same as having two entirely separate phones.

I would not care. If they don't get your data this way, they will probably get it another way. This is a lost battle.

Indeed.
In a couple of years time, you will have to have an in-car video camera to record your journey in order to get insurance, a few years after that they will be compulsory in all new cars as standard, and the footage will be available to the police. At that point, any last hope you might have of keeping your destinations private will be to walk (wearing a hoodie and a false mustache).

Hoodie an mustache won't help. By that time iris scanners will be cheap and small and mounted everywhere (Minority Report anyone?)

Agreed.
Amendment #4 was just getting in the way of too many corporations' profits, so, it was erased.

It'll probably go for security reasons - cleaning up after themselves for what they are already doing. The UK government is trying to do that at the moment as far as the internet and phones are concerned.

Some data should remain private. While I do not hide the fact that I am religious, I think that the government should not have access to that form of information in a queryable format, for historic reasons.
And yes, convincing the other party that it is a lost battle is a nice strategy. It is also incorrect and false information.

Nevermind, I did not think you were serious.
Geeeeez, considering buying another phone because you do not want some private data to be maybe used for maybe something ? I think some people have too much time/money on their hands.

Sorry for that, but it is a serious topic.

Privacy saves lives, and there cannot be freedom without it. You can call it democracy, republic, or even an anarchy - but it is not in freedom if you do not have privacy. A very valuable and damned expensive lesson that history thaught us.
..and no, I do not trust any company any more than I trust any government, since that is most often the same bed you're talking about.

Do what normal people do, switch off the GPS function when you don't need it.

What for? Phone does know your location based on BTS towers anyway assuming you are in the range of at least 3 of them. And this is the case in any larger town.

How about turn the phone off? I spent the first 30 years of my life without a phone on my hip. Did not need it.

Actually - the solution would be to have the separate phone for uber-calls, and when not in use, wrap it in aluminum foil* or other completely surrounding metal casing.
This acts as a Faraday Cage and no signals get in or out.
* for some, this means imply putting it under their hat.

Maybe I understand something wrong. So I just ask: You feel bad that Google logs everything you do with your Android phone and yet you want to solve that problem by buying another Android phone?
