Google’s new privacy policy

We are surrounded by hundreds of machines and man-made technology, overloaded by information from different directions, people and cultures. Thanks to the greatest technological achievement of recent times, the internet; seeking information of any kind is no longer difficult or impossible. In that world, we are mere users! How many of us really care about who possibly inquires about the products we need and why we need information on them? Would it be okay with you if the information or products you have been following was sold to a third party? What limitations do the service provider, Google, suffer from?

Every day millions of people perform Google search, use Gmail and YouTube. You have probably used all of these internet services today. Since March 1, the use of Google search, Gmail and You Tube have fallen into the ambit of a brand new privacy policy! We have been wondering if this is something that we should be concerned about. Most users and even some governments have criticized the decision and expressed concern about this new policy that violates users privacy and personal information!

I do not think I have ever read Google’s privacy policy or have thought about how it could affects me ! I usually click on the ‘Accept’ button. Am I the only one who does that? Possibly not! Now I know that they are important. Like any other contract , it governs users relationship with Google. Without understanding what is in the policy, its terms and conditions , we will never know that Google will use personal information! I think there are two sides to the story here. The person who reads it will know.

Google will now be using your data. For example. If you are looking for the latest fashion trends in Paris, YouTube would suggest some videos related to it. I guess some would think this is as an interference. This is how Google does business; it is not a charitable organization. One thing is for sure – Google will not sell your information to third parties.

I think Google’s new privacy policy is, a move towards greater simplicity and transparency. It may not be ‘invasive’ unless you are ‘googling’ information about mass destruction or making bombs. You could be in trouble If Google tracks these queries and begins investigating that! that .

Google’s new policy has come under fire in France and Canada. The coming few days will prove to be crucial to users as they are just getting to know what the privacy policy is like.
