Privacy settings
You use the Privacy settings to manage your personal information.
Use My Location Check to include your position when using Google search and
other Google services. When you check this option, you’re asked whether you consent
to allowing Google to use your location when providing these services.
Back up my settings Check to back up your phone’s settings to Google servers,
with your Google Account. If you replace your phone, the settings you’ve backed up
are restored onto the new phone the first time you sign in with your Google Account. If
you check this option, a wide variety of settings are backed up, including your Wi-Fi
passwords, bookmarks, a list of the applications you’ve installed, the words you’ve
added to the dictionary used by the onscreen keyboard, and most of the settings that
you configure with the Settings application. If you uncheck this option, you stop
backing up your settings, and any existing backups are deleted from Google servers.
Factory data reset Erases all of your personal data from internal phone storage,
including information about your Google Account, any other accounts, your system
and application settings, and any downloaded applications. Resetting the phone does
not erase any system software updates you’ve downloaded or any files on your
microSD card, such as music or photos. If you reset the phone in this way, you’re
prompted to reenter the same kind of information as when you first started Android.
