Google's Privacy Policy

As human beings and citizens of the world, everyone values their privacy. It is a right that is often looked over and taken for granted by most. Since the beginning of time, there have been concerns about individuals’ rights to privacy and their personal information remaining confidential. Our founding fathers had concerns about this which is why, “…this right has developed into

This policy covers how PaperRater.com (PaperRater) treats content you submit to us as well as personal information that we collect and receive, including information related to your past use of our products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable--like your name, address, email address, or phone number-- and that is not otherwise publicly available, like your PaperRater username and password.

In 2007, Google’s controversy regarding Street View raised privacy and security concerns. Street View allows for high-resolution photos enabling you to explore 360-degree panoramic, street-level imagery of places once you type in the correct address. This could range from vehicle license plates, properties, people doing mundane activities, as well as people in compromising or out-of-context situations. And since Google’s

When it was discovered that Google was reviewing their user’s emails in order to better advertise, many people understandably were upset and concerned with the invasion of privacy. Google made an analogy of a robot that would enter your home, walk around, investigate everything in the home, and then self-destruct. This analogy is incomplete, because the robot is not operating without any connection. Rather the robot is sending and receiving information in order to produce better advertisement. The real question is, where is the information the robot is sending going and is it being stored. If the robot was working off a closed system and no information is being passed on, then there is no reason for the robot to be there in the first

TRUSTe Incorporated is a privacy certification sales company which monitors, evaluates, and certifies web sites, apps, and cloud systems to safely gather and use customer data to improve their business models. First and foremost, if Dirt Bikes USA became a member of TRUSTe, its suppliers and customer base would feel more secure when inputting sensitive data onto the company’s web site because of its demonstration of its dedication to privacy. According to TRUSTe’s 2014 Consumer Confidence Index, “Customers choose to do business with companies they trust. 92% of consumers are concerned about privacy and 89% avoid doing business with companies they don’t trust.” The TRUSTe seal signifies that a company is in compliance with all governing privacy standards.

Information we collect is a considerable portion of Googles privacy policy, it details all of the information they may collect on users, the methods they employ to do so on a basic level such as cookies, identifying user languages, device identification (e.g. smartphone or pc), location information and there is a detailed section on logging.

I considered these ten beliefs as Google’s values, because they include all rules and norms to guide Google in making decisions. Also, these beliefs reflect the fundamental values of the organization; values that do not change over time. Additionally, these beliefs are the values that Google reflects in all its activities, rather than looking forward to implement them. Lastly, these beliefs answer the question “how do we carry out our mission?”

or data brokers as well as with public organizations (like police). Because of this there are still many questions about the data governance that Google will follow and the privacy protection it will offer to its customers. Moreover Flyverbom (2015) states that citizens and consumers, who are tracked online in a daily basis and whose personal data can be obtained by government authorities and are provided to companies for advertisements reasons, have started to be aware of their personal data and their life tracking. In this post-Snowden era people are more well-informed than before and they have started to care more about their privacy which means that is logic Google car’s project to raise questions about privacy to its potential users.

Google also considers the nature of the information. Financial records, private contact information, and false information, are all deemed worthy of privacy according to Google. If, however, the “information biases toward a public interest” (e.g. information related to criminal offences),

The thesis statement is that search engines are invading the privacy of online consumers and search engines should not invade consumer privacy because these Search engine companies have no business in finding what the user is doing on the internet .Social media and Search engines are invading the privacy of internet users all around the world and keep track of all user info on the computers and this should not be allowed in any way..According to Caitlin Dewey , reporter in Washington D.C from the washington post it states”Google has,since 2009,published a transparency tool called Dashboard which lets users see exactly what kind of data the internet giant has on them and from which services.” This quote shows that since 2009 Google decided to create the tool Dashboard which makes it easier for google to see what other computer consumers are using.Another quote relating to this issue also from(Dewey,2014) it states “The issue of data collection has provoked renewed anxiety of late,perhaps spurred by recent investigations into personal

Contact information, including first and last name, phone number, fax number, email address and mailing address.

Information privacy can be stated as a choice of an individual person to share his/her personal information with others and with advancements in technology, its becoming unmanageable to regulate it. Customers have chosen to trust many companies with their information in trade for the services they have to offer. Google also provides various services that store large amount of data about its users. Google’s first product was- the search engine where privacy issues began to surface as it caches a users previous search. Google states in its privacy policy, “We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends, such as how people search.” These cookies were initially thought to be accessed by the websites only; however, with increased advertising they can be accessed by all those who want it. This does not comply with rights to information privacy by the users.

Google: Most people have no clue as to the sheer scope and volume of data being collected. Mention you are having money problems in your Google mail account and you might get credit counseling ads. Visit medical site and you might start getting medical ads. All this information is available for sale. Where you shop, what you buy, everything you have ever written and perhaps read. This data can be used to extrapolate personal information you would never expose directly. I would never allow anyone to open my mail. Why is it legal for them to open my email.

Search engine of Google has brought great benefits to all users for gathering ubiquitous information. With its unique capabilities, more than 180 internet domains and 130 languages are provided in search interface respectively. Considering Google practice, it has emphasised on offering exceptional experiences for its users more than its

On google agreeing to ensure its search content, Reporters without borders commented, “Google’s statement about respecting online privacy are the height of hypocrisy in view of its strategy in China.” However, Google’s Director of Research was of the view, “What’s important to users is access to information, we are giving them that, and we think that’s the most important.” Do you think Google was right in taking this step? Justify your answer.
