The decision, although it seeks to simplify privacy contracts for the user to understand the texts, has raised many doubts.
Google changed again.
This
time, the online search giant decided to unify its more than 70
versions of privacy policies on their different services, one unique and
universal. Thus,
from the March 1, 2012, the company promised to make the most simple
and easy to understand things, emphasizing that everything will more or
less, as before, not lucrarán with data collected from its users, and
that They are looking to collect more of them.
The
changes, then, come in the sense that this unification of its services,
the next time you search "how cooking sushi" also find YouTube videos
with tutorials and tips Japanese food, in Google Books could find texts
with recipes Google Maps and surely you will recommend the nearest restaurant.
What is controversial, then?

The new Google privacy policy became operational on 1 March.
The
concern of users is that with the new contract, Google can combine data
collected, feature that allows the "synchronization" between their
services. But although these data have always been in the hands of search
engine, although fragmented in different services, the new policy worry
more than 50 organizations among which the Electronic Frontier
Foundation (EFF) and European UNION (EU).
The latter, precisely, have argued that Google delayed the effective
date of his political move for parliamentarians have time to better
analyze and predict their consequences, which was denied by the company.
And how do you solve?
According
to experts, the most effective way to prevent damage is to navigate
without log into your Google account, that is, not use Gmail, and
Google+, and YouTube at the same time you entered a username and
password in any of these platforms.
The second option is more radical and means delete the entire history of searches and visits to Google services:
Login to your account at Google. Removes all search history (certainly not know that this existed!). Now clear the history of YouTube (did you know that is the second most used search engine on the net?). Look at the Google Dashboard and make sure that there are no associated data services with yours. Check the preferences of advertising, which also collect information about your online behavior.
Now
if you are one of extreme decisions, you can decide to close all your
accounts in Google services, for which we recommend that you back up all
your data and download it to Google Takeout.
