Google's new Privacy Policy

frost

I think they are emailing this to me once a day. Here is an excerpt:

Information we get from your use of our services. We may collect information about the services that you use and how you use them, like when you visit a website that uses our advertising services or you view and interact with our ads and content. This information includes:

Device information

We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number). Google may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your Google Account.

Log information

When you use our services or view content provided by Google, we may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs. This may include:
details of how you used our service, such as your search queries.
telephony log information like your phone number, calling-party number, forwarding numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls.
Internet protocol address.
device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL.
cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your Google Account.

Location information

When you use a location-enabled Google service, we may collect and process information about your actual location, like GPS signals sent by a mobile device. We may also use various technologies to determine location, such as sensor data from your device that may, for example, provide information on nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers.

Google tracks you. We don't. An illustrated guide.


Think I'll be making the switch to duckduckgo.com

Yeah, it's all for your own good, so you can have a better experience.

I installed "privacysuite" right after making this thread ... facebook has already tried to track me on 5 different websites, and almost every website I go to has some sort of tracking. (So far, this is the only site that doesn't flag as having some form of tracking).

Edit: So far, CNN has the most tracking. 5 different companies track off the main page.

seems like privacy online is going the way of the dodo. Honestly, it feels like there's not much anyone can really do about it.
