Internal database used at Google
Sensorvault is an internal Google database that contains records of users' historical geo-location data.[1]: 1 [2]
It has been used by law enforcement to execute a geo-fence warrant and to search for all devices within the vicinity of a crime, (within a geo-fenced area)[1]: 1 [3]: 1 [2] and after looking at those devices' movements and narrowing those devices down to potential suspects or witnesses, then asking Google for the information about the owners of those devices.[1]: 1 [3]: 1 [2]
