To connect you with relevant businesses and services, we never use information like your precise location or history of interactions with Maps. Instead we focus on contextual information such as search terms, a device’s approximate location, or the area of the map on screen.
I’m not sure I understand the distinction between “precise location” and “a device’s approximate location” here. If the latter is still location data from the device, how meaningful is the privacy difference?
I don’t support this endeavour but “you are at 123 Fake Street at 9:47am on Thurs May 7” vs “you are in the area of Fake Street/Sham Town on a Weekday Morning”.
