Google Tracks Highest Amount Of Data Among All Tech Giants, Study Shows

Search giant Google has been found to be tracking the highest amount of data of its users, according to a study published recently. The Mountain View, California-based tech giant is said to have the highest amount of data collection among all big tech companies. According to an analysis conducted by StockApps.com, Google harvests the most information about its users, more than the likes of Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, and more. The researcher also said that this means that users are able to allow Google to access all the information they require by accepting the privacy policies.
