Is there a good place to read up on IP tracking by Google? Folks I know

Dick,
Literally EVERYBODY tracks your IP address. If they didn't, there would
be no way to access information on the internet. An IP address is how
internet information finds its destination and is exactly analogous to
your house address for receiving paper mail: EVERYBODY knows your house
address. It's a public record.
I understand this part.
The question is not "Do they track my IP access" but "Do they track what
internet sites and information I access from my IP address". You can
block a lot of this, use a VPN or proxy to hide your real IP, but then
you can't use "free" services like google calendar, etc.
Right. That's the part I want to read up on. How does Google track IP
addresses and the sites those IP addresses connect to.
