It also does not change the fact that any information gathered and stored by Google could be sought by law enforcement.With Viewing and Search History enabled, Google will keep these records indefinitely; with it disabled, they will be partially anonymized after 18 months, and certain kinds of uses, including sending you customized search results, will be prevented.
