It clearly states "Google does not serve ads in the Core Services or use personal information collected in the Core Services for advertising purposes."
Is the evidence that indicates this is not true? Is this in relation to non-core services that school administrators may opt into?
- morganvachon 9y agoThey aren't using it for advertising purposes right now, but they can still collect and store the data on children thanks to outdated privacy laws. Once the child comes of age all of that information is fair game according to their own policy (once the child becomes an adult, if they continue to use their account or link it to a new Google account, they are automatically under Google's normal privacy policy which we all know allows them to harvest everything you do within their services). https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/12/28/google-is-tracking-students-as-it-sells-more-products-to-schools-privacy-advocates-warn/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/12/28...

- morganvachon 9y agoI never said otherwise, just responding to a question about Google specifically.

- zepto 9y agoThere is no doubt they are building the profiles.
- codeisart 9y agoNo matter what the privacy notice by Google says, you should absolutely discount it since Google has a history of steadily making privacy agreements looser over the years (and they are legally allowed to do so). In 2014 they amended their policies to join the Google and DoubleClick cookies for targeted advertising. In 2016 they started joining that with YouTube history for targeted advertising.
