What difference does it even make? If they want to collect new info, they just add it to the all encompassing policy for “everything Google” and the opt out option (lose access?) is too detrimental, so I have to agree.
They might as well just say “we collect everything.”
- groovybits 7y ago> If they want to collect new info, they just add it to the all encompassing policy for “everything Google” Well the policy is not a binary blob. Google does more than most services by providing a full archive of their policies, as well as a clear-cut comparison of each. https://policies.google.com/privacy/archive https://policies.google.com/privacy/archive FWIW, their most recent comparison is nearly all clarifications, with only one completely new addition.
- Filligree 7y agoThat's exactly the sort of thing the GDPR is meant to address, actually. They shouldn't be able to force opt-in of a policy to access a service that doesn't itself need that information.
- rando444 7y agoIt's not about the collection so much as it is about how they use it. They're going to be making money off you. It's important that you don't have a means to claim retribution.
