Google search is popular around the world because it is powerful and can find a lot of useful data in simple steps. However, records of Internet browsing or searching for data are stored in a large database, and law enforcement can use the power to ask the group to submit the data, disturbing many netizens. The Google Group announced on the 14 th that it will take new measures to protect the privacy of Internet users.
Sing Tao Daily reported that, under the new plan, Google promised to regularly delete "cookies" in its data storage and servers in the future ", initially, the system will be updated and "cookies" will be deleted once every 18 months to four months, which is in line with US legislation requiring internet providers to retain user data.
Google's lawyers, Fisher and Nicole Wong, noted: "Google is happy to change the private privacy policy of the group. Unless the authorities reference legislation that requires us to save data for a longer period of time, we will delete customers' online data records within the time limit, so that they can feel at ease ."
Before Google's cleaning period, the police can still request to view the information or take legal action to order Google to retain the data after the time limit. But in any case, the new measures mark the first time Google accurately stated when the data related to user browsing habits will be retained.
Google still retains a large amount of user information, and the new measures are believed to reduce the number of users in a specific search by a company, government department, or other organization group. Private experts welcomed the arrangement of new security measures and thought it was a great step forward.
