Where's the difference?
- oneeyedpigeon 12y agoWhether third parties see information about your online behaviour or not. Is that not clear?
- dragonwriter 12y agoIn selling usage data: Someone pays Google, gets your usage data (and can do with it whatever they want). In selling targetted ads: Someone pays Google and gives them a specification of what kind of people they'd like to see the ads, and Google uses the usage data they already have to select who to show the ad to. At the end: In the former case, Google and the third party both have your data. In the latter case, Google has the data, and the third party does not.
- Igglyboo 12y agoThe end goal is the same but the only party with your information is Google as opposed to a third party.
