Remember seeing this before? |
Google is changing its private policy to accommodate its new design which allows it to gather any information a user access when using a Google product to improve user experience. In the current privacy policy, Google lists four possible scenarios for disclosing information, them being violations of the law or through “enforceable” government requests, enforcing the Terms of Service, any security or technological issues, and to protect Google users from any potential harm. The new policy allows Google to now share private information with domain administrators and trusted businesses, as well as non-personal information with Google's partners and advertisers, all while still keeping the previous reasons of legal issues. Is this too much? Is Google's new policy giving them too much power over a user's private information? Only time (and inevitable court cases) will tell.
