- stephenr 10y agoYet. Remember when they said they don't combine data from different properties?
- ekianjo 10y agoYeah; and they don't share anything with intelligence agencies either.

- ksk 10y agoThat doesn't mean much. They could still correlate and combine information with any anonymized (or rather, what they consider anonymized) personal info. The fact that they even mention that they have permanent logs is quite unsettling. I would think they'd just dump the data from all of their services into your advertising profile. They won't store your name and such, but they have to have a way of linking this anonymous profile to your google account or something. I doubt that google simply deletes all advertising profile data if you just happen to clear your cookies.
- a3n 10y agoI have no idea what goes on in google. That said, even if they don't correlate with "personal information that you have provided," you as an IP address are still identifiable as that IP address, and correlatable with yourself, for as long as that IP lasts for you. Which means Google could cause ads to follow you around, for example. Again, I don't know what all they actually do or don't do with their DNS logs, but the quoted "promise" doesn't promise anonymity, just separation of you as a known Google user from you as a semi-anonymous but specific DNS user. I'm reminded of the early days of the Snowden revelations, when the NSA was saying "it's just metadata."
