PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Google could be tracking your movements, whether you like it or not.

An Associated Press investigation found that even when "location history" is turned off, many Google services on Android devices and iPhones store your location data.

Critics say it stems from Google's Drive to boost advertising revenue.

Google says it provides, "Robust controls so people can turn them on or off, and delete their histories at any time."

To find out if you're tracked by Google, you can go to your Google Maps timeline, and from there you can check your phone's location settings and make adjustments.
