#ProTip for people wanting to use Android without letting Goggle violate your privacy;

Don't login with a Goggle account.

In place of the Prey Store, Use F-Droid to install the apps you need, or other app stores that you can install using an APK downloaded from their official site.

It really it that simple. Most of the stuff Goggle builds into Android to track you assumes that you'll login with one of their accounts, and relies on that to work.

I've owned a number of Android devices, and never once logged one into a Goggle account. In fact, when I get around to fully replacing and liberating my data from the last GMail account I still use (I know, mea culpa), I won't even *have* a Google account.

@strypey is it that simple ?
Well, actually, I think that all the Google Services will track you with or without log in, don't they?
