What Does Google Know About You?

August 11, 2007

Google technology is everywhere these days. We use it to e-mail, instant message, plan our day, watch videos and, of course, search the Internet. But all that convenience gives Google plenty of opportunities to gather information about us. Take a look:

  • Google Mail – Your e-mail history and the default setting stores your e-mails forever.
  • Google Desktop – Indexes the Web browser history, music, chat, e-mails and other files located on your computer.
  • Google Search – Any search phrase / term you enter.
  • Google Talk – Chat sessions between users.
  • Google Calendar – Your schedule.
  • Google Video – What videos you watch.

No wonder the Electronic Privacy Information Center and other privacy groups are filing FCC complaints left and right.
