Google privacy concern

[gallicbear]

Hi there. I am considering buying a tablet with Android 4.1. It would be connected via wi-fi. I do not have a gmail account. Where (through which app) and how much data can Google actually collect from my usage? I've never been into Android before. Thanks in advance for your help.

They can collect everything but your thoughts. If you're that paranoid, never connect a computer to anything, even a charger.

Considering the amount of data Google could collect every day, there aren't enough people on the planet to go through it all to see if you're planning to cheat on your wife.

Thanks, Rukbat, for the input. That answers my question.

They'll probably try and do that with the next version of Glass.
