Please explain how Google would get my location if I don't run a phone with Google location services and / or don't allow Google services and apps to access my location. Sure, they may know where you are roughly based on your IP, but that's just within a very broad region, and can easily be obfuscated by a VPN. Google siphons a shitton of information from everywhere they can, but it's not like they've secretly implanted everyone with a tracking chip either... And neither can they get around any device's OS-level location permission system.
