Google Privacy Policy Googled

It(google search engine) is a creeper. It not only goes out into the world wide web of "everything" and possibly come back with anything or the information you were looking for, but it also spys around in your computer and devices, and your life. Google literally finds your time zone and location. It hunts down and finds this information to help them market to you and advertise to you.


All the searching and information gathering is not favorable for other and it is significant for others. I am having a bit of mixed feelings about google's searching habit because i do not like them to spy on me and snoop around in my business but i do like how it goes and gathers information on what i am looking for.


Google policy says that yes they are collecting all this information from you but it is for your own good. They say that they are not giving or sharing your information with anybody other than them selves. They are simply organizing your information so you or "other people"(lol) can easily find it. The funniest part is that they said they are not the ones handling your information you are. They are only collecting and organizing for you and you are the one managing it. As long as they follow the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act i don't care if they store and organize my data.


I don't really have a problem with it because i feel like Google and Yahoo both collect and save your info and date, but some people and organizations do not like Google and/or their privacy policies. A little bit i think that Google and Yahoo are together with or by the government in this plot of data collection and i think that is all fine. However, others do not. The others are organizations like SafeGov.org who says that Google policy changes jeopardizes government information. Some "others" are Microsoft who says things like their privacy policy is better but their policy states that they will give your information to other microsoft services and company.(http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2012/02/busting-myths-about-our-approach-to.html)
It's all about trust and i trust that Google is doing the right thing with my info.
