No, not more food delivery (unfortunately) - i thought I'd see what data Google had on me, so went to https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout and downloaded my account. 88gb (more like 500mb without google drive...)

I know so many people cry about google 'tracking' you etc, but I know I signed up for it all.. and personally, the location data is fantastic. 1.4 MILLION locations I've been tracked to. Using an easily found website, you upload your file and it plots it in google maps. Incredible to see all my foreign trips on a map.

The only thing that has scared me - it has a list of time, data and EVERY SINGLE WEBPAGE I HAVE EVER VISITED. That's a bit scary.

Is that because you have loads in Gmail and Google Drive? I just tried without selecting them and it's 17.6 MB.

That might be why the file is so high. Good point.
Still, the location thing alone is a zip'd 370mb file
