More on Google and Your Privacy

August 22, 2005

CIO Today has a three part article By Jack M. Germain on Google and privacy. Title of the series: “Google Has Your Data: Should You Be Afraid?”

  • Part One An overview that concludes, “Google is bent on monetizing every user through keeping a careful watch on every Web page users access and every file users open on local machines.”
  • Part Two an in-depth investigation of Google’s privacy policies. “From Google’s viewpoint, once users grant consent by using Google’s services, the collected data is beyond the user’s reach forever.”
  • Part Three an in-depth investigation of user trust and privacy law as they relate to Google’s data-capturing activities. “…audit logs are turning up evidence that Google systems are infected with spyware and other stuff…. Google is [not] doing a good enough job at protecting users’ privacy…”
