_This is the second part of my series ‘What does Facebook actually know about me?’, where I use Data Science to analyse the 7,500 files of data Facebook have about me. See Part 1 for analysis of my own Facebook activity, Part 3 to find out what Facebook thinks I like, Part 4 to find out what Facebook knows about my activity on other websites and _Part 5 to see what 4.5 years of my relationship looks like in Facebook data.

If you own a smart phone, your location can be tracked by any app you use. Thankfully it has become easier in recent years to restrict this and to identify which apps are using your location data, although many people either forget to check this or do not realise the setting is on in the first place.

In this article I’m going to address the question of just how much location data Facebook collects and I’ll visualise it to show how it can be used to make deductions about your life.
