Yes, and the Google Chrome versions for Enterprises and Education have the exact same contractual clause that Mozilla has w.r.t. Google Analytics.
So either you trust this clause, or you don’t – in both cases, you need to trust Google.
- Sylos 9y agoRight. What relevance does Chrome for Enterprise/Education having this clause when neither Chrome for normal people nor Chromium have this clause? I do mostly trust Google, if they're legally bound to not do the things that I don't want them to do. The sanctions for privacy law violations being essentially nonexistent makes it often hard to, because those sanctions are then usually just yet another bullet point in their cost calculations, but contractual violations have much higher sanctions, so I don't see a particular problem there.
- kuschku 9y agoFrom May 2018 on, the sanctions for privacy law violations of EU citizen is 4% of global revenue, or 20 million, whatever is larger. And when governments and universities switch to Chrome, people stick with what they're used to, and will use that at home, too. In the last 2 months 15% of Firefox' German userbase left for Chrome.
