Does google voice track you?

Since Google Voice numbers aren’t listed in phone books or connected to physical addresses, they’re difficult to trace. When you call contacts from your Google Voice number, it shows up on their caller ID, but standard phone traces don’t reveal your identity.

While I was reading we ran into the query “Does Google record your voice when you talk?”.

Google’s support site says that the firm records your voice and other audio, plus a few seconds before, when you use audio activation. This includes saying commands like ‘OK Google’ or tapping the microphone icon. Your audio is saved to your account only when you’re signed in and Voice & Audio Activity is turned on.

Unlike some Voice over IP services, Google Voice assigns a phone number to your account and displays this number on the recipient’s caller ID when you make a call. If you call other Google Voice users, your name, number, email address and profile picture appear in their inbox.

Is a Google Voice number truly untraceable?

First, Google Voice requires users to link a phone number in order to use the service. So for those who want a truly untraceable burner number, this isn’t possible. Second, your Google Voice number must be linked to a cell phone number or a landline number within the United States.

Can I use Google Voice If I already have a phone number?

If you already have an established mobile phone number and would rather not deal with the hassle of printing new business cards and changing all your contact information, Google Voice will let you port over your existing number.

Can I use Google Voice to hide my phone number?

If you create this burner number using Google Voice, you’ll get new functionality like call forwarding and voicemail transcripts, and best of all, it’s completely free. Creating a disposable phone number will let you make calls and send texts while hiding your real number.
