They don't make it easy with the constant fucking of their own consumers. It should be expected that people assume the worst because that's what they've been conditioned to expect for the last 10 years.

We are deprecating and removing the Location History feature, an API that allowed Cortana to access 24 hours of device history when location was enabled. With the removal of the Location History feature, location data will no longer be saved locally and the corresponding settings will also be removed from the Privacy & Security > Location page in Settings.

Does location data get stored on their servers or elsewhere?
