For an example, my country’s government app contains Google Trackers on it. Does it mean Google can see my face scans on it/my full name on it?

    you can block trackers (i use netGuard) and the app will probably still work fine. Same with banking apps

    another question would be: Now that your government has a face and a name for that telephone you’re using, what other information can they get through boogle’s trackers and what are they using it for?

    Most Google trackers currently capture the information provided by the website (at a minimum, domain and URL), your IP address and Google account ID if you’re logged in. There’s lots of leeway as to how much additional information the site provides, though.
