How Google’s data can make you a suspect in a crime you didn’t commit

Google is a powerful search engine that also tracks our online activities, locations and interests. It stores a lot of data about us, which can be useful for some purposes but also risky.

Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson is an award-winning tech journalist who has a deep love of technology, gear and gadgets that make life better with his contributions for Fox News & FOX Business beginning mornings on "FOX & Friends."
