Google says it\u2019ll start automatically deleting visits to abortion clinics, domestic violence shelters, weight loss clinics, and other potentially sensitive locations from users\u2019 location histories in the coming weeks. In a blog post on Friday<\/a>, the company says that the deletion will happen \u201csoon after\u201d the visit, once its systems have identified that a trip was made to one of the locations. This change is happening in the wake of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/a> and the moves several states have immediately made to outlaw abortions.<\/p>\n

You can also turn off Google\u2019s location logging altogether by following its instructions h<\/a>ere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s post, entitled \u201cProtecting people\u2019s privacy on health topics,\u201d also mentions that there\u2019s an update coming for Fitbit that will let you delete multiple menstruation logs at once if you\u2019ve been using the health tracking feature.<\/p>\n
