11.7Privacy

You use the Privacy settings to manage your personal information.

Use My Location

Mark the check box to include your position when using Google Search and other Google services. When you check this option, you’re asked whether you consent to allowing Google to use your location when providing these services.

Back up my settings

Mark the check box to back up your cellphone’s settings to Google Servers, with your Google Account. If you replace your cellphone, the settings you’ve backed up are restored onto the new cellphone the first time you sign in with your Google Account. If you mark this option, a wide variety of settings are backed up, including your Wi-Fi passwords, bookmarks, a list of the applications you’ve installed, the words you’ve added to the dictionary used by the onscreen keyboard, and most of the settings that you configure with the Settings application. If you unmark this option, you stop backing up your settings, and any existing backups are deleted from Google Servers.

Factory data reset

Erase all of your personal data from internal cellphone storage, including information about your Google Account, any other accounts, your system and application settings, and any downloaded applications. Resetting the cellphone does not erase any system software updates you’ve downloaded or any files on your microSD card, such as music or photos. If you reset the cellphone in this way, you’re prompted to re-enter the same kind of information as when you first started Android.
