[(Title)] Google Is Tracking Your Location—Even Without Your Permission, Report Says.

Google is tracking your location—even if you wish it wouldn't.

谷歌正在跟踪你的位置，即使你不希望这样做。

The Associated Press discovered that even after you turn off location tracking in Google apps running on Android devices and iPhones, the tech giant will still track your location.

美联社(Associated Press)发现，即使你关闭了在Android设备和iPhone上运行的谷歌应用程序中的位置跟踪，该科技巨头仍将跟踪你的位置。

The AP asked security researchers to evaluate its findings and those experts said that Google is indeed tracking locations after you request it doesn't.

美联社要求安全研究人员对调查结果进行评估，这些专家表示，谷歌确实在要求它关闭之后跟踪了位置。

In one example, the AP found that Google will take  "a snapshot"  of your location when you open its Google Maps app, even if you have location tracking turned off.

在一个示例中，美联社发现即使您关闭了位置跟踪，Google也会在您打开Google地图应用时拍摄您所在位置的“快照”。

When you search in Google for innocuous topics, like  "kids science kits,"  Google can accurately determine your location up to a square foot of space, according to the report.

这份报告称，当你搜索谷歌的无害话题，如“孩子们科学工具包”，谷歌可以准确地确定你的位置附近一平方英尺的空间。

Interestingly, Google isn't skirting its tracking. In a statement to the AP, in fact, the company said that it tracks location in a variety of ways, including via  "Location History, Web and App Activity,

有趣的是，谷歌并没有回避跟踪。事实上，该公司在向美联社发布的声明中说，谷歌以多种方式跟踪这一位置，包括通过“定位历史、网页、应用程序等”跟踪。谷歌补充说，这些功能的工作原理很清晰，并允许您“随时”删除您的位置记录。

and through device-level Location Services."  Google added that it's clear in how the features work and allows you to delete your location history  "at any time."

The implications, of course, are potentially major. AP's findings suggest that when you tell Google to turn off location tracking, it's only stopping the display of location markers in your apps.

当然，影响是潜在的。美联社的调查结果显示，当你告诉谷歌关闭位置跟踪，它只能停止在应用程序中显示位置标记。

But when you access one of its many services, it knows where you are and catalogs that.

但是，当您访问它的许多服务之一时，它知道你在哪，并对此进行编录。

There would appear to be a privacy concern there, considering some people might not like to know that their every movement is being tracked by a gigantic tech company.

考虑到一些人可能不想知道他们所有的移动都被一个大型科技公司跟踪，这似乎是隐私方面的问题。

It also becomes onerous when Google uses the location history you don't want to share to identify your location and deliver better advertising opportunities for companies that want to target people around a particular area.

当Google使用您不想分享的位置记录来识别您的位置并为想要定位特定区域的人的公司提供更好的广告机会时，这也变得令人焦虑。

Ultimately, it's unclear whether Google will do anything about this finding from the AP.

最终，谷歌是否会对美联社的这一发现采取任何行动，目前还不清楚。
