Except for your location, of course. For as long as you have wi-fi off, your location cannot be tracked. It cannot be cached either.

You can go around the world and come back home, and as long as you never turned your wi-fi on, no one would have a clue. You were home the entire time as far as the device/software vendors are concerned.
