- antsar 11y agoWhich only addresses ownership, not usage. On that topic, they claim: > Google Apps for Education services don't collect or use student data for advertising purposes or to create ads profiles. Which leaves a lot of possible other uses on the table.
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoClaiming ownership of customer data would be way beyond any moral line it's kinda crazy that the company that used to say "don't be evil" needs to say it. The policy keeps saying things like: >"Google Apps for Education services don't collect or use student data for advertising purposes or to create ads profiles." Just make me wonder, well if they're only promising not to use it for advertising purposes then what use are they making of it; why isn't it just "will not use student data for any purposes without express and explicit permission"?
- yincrash 11y agoThere are a lot of uses that are benign or beneficial, such as indexing emails for easier searching, etc but having to have an explicit permission prompt for every one of those uses would severly hinder UX
- antsar 11y agoIt doesn't need to be a UX thing, just provide an itemized list of the ways in which the data will be used on a page like the one linked. They choose not to do this, arguably because they know what sort of reactions that list would evoke.
