He also said that Sprint employees, from CSR to account manager to store manager and so on, absolutely cannot access that information. He told me that Google refused to do so when Sprint requested (read into that: Sprint WANTS to spy on us) annd cited that it would be a breach of the end user's (our) privacy.
I trust this guy; I met him about a year ago and talk with him fairly often. I don't see why he would lie to me and believe what he said. YMMV...

Thanks for the input RF, i appreciate you looking into it. i guess ill just have to wonder why the rep said that.
As far as the newjack 2 posts up calling BS stating my intention is to scare people well lets just say Ive had over 2 years here to do that WHY THE HELL WOULD I WAIT TIL NOW? think before you comment my new friend. EDIT:if you checked all my posts in this thread you will see that im new to android and i was hoping an experienced user would pop in and say, oh you just have to close this or turn off that. Far from an attempt to "scare fellow members". If i wanted to do that, i'd just post a pic of myself. My ugliness is far more scary than a sprint rep seeing what i download.
Just as RF has a "connect" at the sprint store, maybe this guy has a cousin at google. anything is possible and i know what took place. I have over 15 years in fraud investigations for a few major banks based in Delaware. I have several connections at other banks that would always give me actual customer info because they know what my intent was(to help me solve an identity theft case or otherwise) and i would do the same for them. Our personal info is exchanged in a lot more ways they we can imagine, the intent for these exchanges is not always malicious. Mods /thread if you like.
