No one will know about abortion or drugs: Google will delete data from visits to clinics

Google recognizes when you’ve been to abortion clinics or drug treatment centers, but now these visits will be removed from your location history.

Google has established a new protocol to protect user privacy: automatically deleting visits to abortion clinics and other important medical facilities from location history. He will take effect in the coming weeks.

This change will only affect those who are signed in to a Google account and have Location History enabled, which is disabled by default. Google’s automatic removal policy, as explained in a company blog post, applies not only to abortion clinics, but also:

• to visit shelters for victims of domestic violence,
• addiction treatment centers
• plastic surgery clinics.

Although personal location data may someday be protected by future nationwide privacy laws. But users can manually delete their location history by following Google’s instructions.

Please note that disabling location history does not delete previous activity, which must be removed manually. Even after you turn off location history, other Google apps and services, such as search and maps, may still store your location.
