These settings and restrictions impact my life by allowing me to use a website and to be able ti know that my information is not going anywhere.
Google is tracking my feeds as well as my "Favorited" websites.
They will never sell the information that they have been given by the person using their product, other than a legal situation that requires information about the person at stake.
They will keep the history of every website that the person has used for the past three weeks.

ReplyDeleteGoogle made a new privacy policy. This new privacy policy won't change much. One of the things that the new privacy policy will change is they will NOT share any user data with another person. This will help people keep their true identity and make it a lot more harder for someone to steal your identity. Google history will be there until you erase what you don't want.

ReplyDeleteThese changes will impact me because I use iGoogle in computers class every day. We also use GoogleDocs when we make presentations and sometimes just for taking notes or doing work cited pages. For my personal identity, these changes will make it easier for me to keep my personal information hidden on the Internet. They will make it so that none of my personal information gets out on the Internet.
The history that is tracked on the Internet is everything that you do on it. Google keeps the history for about a month, if you don't go in and delete it before that.

ReplyDeleteThe new Google security settings and restrictions will impact me by making my personal identity on the web more protected than before. Google will not share user data with people other than me, which makes my identity on the web more personal and not for the world to see. This way, the rate of identity theft will decrease. It protects against phishing and malware. Google will hold on to your history until you personally delete it.

ReplyDeleteThe new Google private policy states that they will not share your personal information with anybody. The way this will affect me is now this new policy is in affect it will be hard for people to steal any ones identity
The changes will impact me because Google is the first thing I use for research and I use it almost every day. I use iGoogle and Google Docs.
ReplyDeleteThe personal Identity makes it so that I am more protected against Identity Theft and so that everybody doesn't know who I am. I don't like how it tracks my history and knows every website that I go but I can always just delete it.
The Google changes will impact me because it will block me from doing a lot things. The good thing is that it protects me from identity theft and other things like kidnapping and people meeting strangers.
ReplyDeleteStarting on March 1, Google has started a new privacy policy. Google is watching and tracking everything that you do online. They keep all your history even if you delete it. I use Google all the time and in every article I visited, many people said they use Google almost every day and they wouldn’t want their history to be shared with anyone. Many people are against it but a lot of people are also saying that it should be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThe new Google Security will affect me because they won’t share any of my information. I use Google a lot for everyday questions and homework help. I used to not be so sure about Google because I knew they shared information, but now I know they don’t. I’m very happy about these changes in security. I think everyone has the right for their information to remain private. Google will hold information until you personally delete it. I feel as if my personal Identity is much more protected.
ReplyDeleteGoogle's storage of browser history can be both bad and good. On the surface, it seems terrible. "Why would Google want to keep my browser history, see everywhere I've been on the web?" one could say. It seems very sketchy. For example, I started using Google Chrome on my home computer. I went to Amazon once to look at a computer power supply that my linked to in an email. Soon, I saw many ads for power supplies at Amazon. The same happened with other shopping sites that I went to, but less frequently.
ReplyDeleteBut although this can be used for bad advertising purposes, it can make other things much more convenient. It can make search results that are tailored to your preferences. Say I went to my gaming news site, and I couldn't find an article I was looking for. I could search Google for that article, and Google, knowing that I've been to that site before, would prioritize the results that are on that site before results on other sites.I wouldn't have to go through the results for long before I would find the article. Also, Goggle's Android service can track through a GPS to know where you are. This seems very invasive. Google can always know where you are! But this can provide so many services. Because of this, you can tell your phone that you're looking for, say, a nearby coffee shop. Since Google knows where you are, or at least the general vicinity that you are in, it can tell you where nearby coffee shops are.
Lastly, I don't have a browser history on this school computer. The Web history thing has been disabled. Also, there is no set time that I could find that Google keeps your browser history.
To summarize, Google's possibly privacy-invasive settings can also provide so many benefits.
These changes on the security settings will impact me because I use Google for everything that I research, but I guess a good thing that comes out of it is that my personal identity will be more safe, and other peoples identity will be more safe.

ReplyDeleteGoogle did change its privacy settings and I love them. The impact my life because I am safer online now. Simple as that. I do not have to worry about people stealing my passwords, or stealing my identity. I think the new privacy settings Google offered will be awesome, only if people decide to use them and if they know about them. The history will be kept for a pretty long time.I'm glad google is watching out for me and other people.

ReplyDeleteThe new Google security settings and restrictions will affect me because now my personal documents and other information are more secure. Google will not distribute any of my personal data with anyone else except me. I now feel more protected using Google for creating documents, presentations, excel worksheets, and other files. The new Google security setting and restrictions will decrease the amount of identity theft. Also, Google will keep track of your personal history for about a month but you can personally delete it.
The new google security settings will affect me because all of my documents are safer and if they were not safe then people could steal them and use them for themselves. Also the google history is better now because it helps you find what you already searched and you can see what other people on your computer were searching. You can keep your history for about a month or two. If you want it gone earlier than you can also just delete it yourself.
ReplyDeleteGoogle's new privacy settings has some aspects that may not appeal to others, but I think it's worth it in the long run. Yes, they do keep your history even if you delete it. This helps to shape the ads you see around the websites you browse. A lot of people are wary of this feature, but I personally do not mind. After all, their new security systems make your documents, your passwords, etc much safer. It helps to protect your identity on the web and helps reduce the amount of identity theft.
