When Google and apple came out during the pandemic and showed the anonymous data on every city… it was pretty obvious they were prepared for that way too quickly.
It’s safe to assume, you’re tracked 24/7 and everything’s recorded imo.

Neither Google nor Apple sell your location data. Other ad providers will.
This matters a lot but is ignored by comments like this.
Burr regardless, the point was government has it.
It’s also safe to assume 3rd party apps track it and capture the same data. Which can then be purchased.
For example Google's entire revenue model is based on the idea you give them money and ads to show and they choose where best to show that. If they sold the raw data it would undermine that.
Basically no amount of money would be enough for Google to give away their entire business.
For example, if the government says, "here's $10B dollars / year" give us that data and we wont use it in ads. Google doesn't have a business incentive not to provide it the data.
If you have Android, open Google maps, open menu, select "Your Timeline", and scroll through days.
So looks like this functionality is disabled by default. I don't recall ever using google maps on my phone before, let alone tweaking specific settings.
