Comparing that with https://google.com/privacy/ https://google.com/privacy/ ... Of course it collects much more data than Apple, but I like Google's organization of this information too. All important things are clearly and carefully written down with options to change them near each of them. (Sure, you can't permanently stop data collection with any option yet :) )
- danso 9y agoThat's a great looking landing page, though I think it's another example of the stark contrast between Apple and Google in regards to privacy. Apple's page begins with "we believe privacy is a fundamental human right". Google starts with the headline "Every day, data makes our services work better for you", followed by, "That's why it's important we keep it private and safe". That said, I really do love the data "takeout" feature. But my guess is that most people don't know about it. I once tweeted something innocuous and nerdy about the JSON format used and I got a ton of response, most of which was surprise/shock that this data was collected at all: https://twitter.com/dancow/status/849111902961532929 https://twitter.com/dancow/status/849111902961532929 (Then again, I still remember when Steve Jobs was flat-out defiant that iOS was collecting/storing user geolocation data, even when the SQLite database was easily discoverable: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/technology/28apple.html http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/technology/28apple.html)
