Google changes the privacy policy to integrate a variety of product user information

The January 25 news, according to foreign media reports, Google will modify the processing of user information, the integration of Gmail, Google + and YouTube services such as user information, so that the information collected in one service can be applied to another service.

For example, if a user searches for a skateboard-related information 1 hours ago, the next time they log on to YouTube, the system may advise users to watch videos related to the legendary Tony Hock of skateboarding (Tony Hawk).

Starting March 1, Google will implement a new privacy policy. The implementation of this policy will eliminate legal obstacles to the 70 different privacy policies. Google will now launch a privacy coverage policy for Gmail, Google +, search, YouTube and maps services, and will also implement a privacy policy for sensitive services such as Google wallet.

Because Google's new privacy policy is suspected of collecting user personal information, including contact lists, email content, geographic location, and so on, the Privacy Protection Agency may take early action against Google.

Google wants to improve the user experience to attract more advertisers to advertise. Google said in its new Privacy Policy page: "If users use Google to search for relevant information, we will recommend search keywords or refine search results based on user interest in Google +, Gmail and YouTube." ”

Ryan Calo, the Stanford Internet and Social Center (Stanford Center for Internet and Society) Privacy Security Director Raien Carlo, says Google is working to simplify its privacy policy to prevent users from getting lost in many of the less-understood legal terminology. In Google's new privacy policy, the number of words has been reduced from the previous 68,000 to about 10,000.

Carlo stresses that Google should be careful about how users ' information is used, and that it has to be convenient for users without revealing sensitive information.
