Privacy Concerns
Amid concerns over locational privacy, Google announced that Latitude overwrites a user's previous location with the new location data, and does not keep logs of locations provided to the service.
As of early 2011, Google Latitude now optionally records a history of places visited and counts time spent at each place. This information is then used to display statistics such as "Time At Work", "Time Spent At Home" and "Time Spent Out".
