Well, last time I looked was many years ago, so it might no longer be true. However, supposedly, adding _NOMAP or something like that would prevent your network from being recorded. As I said, though, that was a long time ago and, of course, trusting Google to not record anything at your request was always a fool’s game.
Back when I researched this (which, as mentioned previously, was a long time ago), it was just the SSID. Possibly (probably) they were also collecting the BSSID but I don’t think they were publicly admitting it at that time.
I thought it was based around BSSID which cannot be changed on most devices. Changing SSID helps?
