"Google can collect data even if you aren't using your phone. The study says that a dormant Android phone with Chrome running in the background sent location data to Google servers 340 times in one 24-hour period. The study claims 11.6 MB of data passed between an Android device and Google's servers after a day of "typical" internet use."

Not sure how surprising this is, but will be curious how much traction this gains.
