They track everything about the owner of the phone number and all the details of your calls to maximize revenue through data science bullshit
Google's PUBLIC ad call tracking support page
https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6197479?hl=en
"By routing calls to your business through a dynamic, trackable phone number, you can get new reporting insights like call duration, call start and end time, caller area code and whether the call was connected"
Doesn't everyone get that on their phone already?
The business you called gets this info about you provided by Google
But can't they just look in their call logs already? My phone tells me all the info you quoted Google as giving.
