What google knows

Friday, November 6. 2009

Google released the "Google Dashboard" lately. In this app it shows all information the different google apps store about a given user. Analytics, Groups and Wave are currently not listed there. But it shows all information about Contacts, Account info, Text and Tables, Web Protocol (search queries) etc.

Seems like the "We are not Evil" benefit of google is not enough anymore and they need to show us how transparent they are about storage of personal data. Thanks Google, we appreciate it

Showing this information is nice. Frank Rieger - speaker of the Chaos Computer Club - says this is not enough. Companies should also make transparent how these informations are combined and evaluated statistically and what characteristic profiles they extract with crowdsourcing. They should assume liability for theft and offer the option to immediately delete the data.
