Google doesn't sell your information, you noob. They sell adspace but the information is never sold, you basically tell them i want adspace and i want to target everyone in California between the ages of 18-35 that like dogs. Which is why I respect and use Google. I love Google even more than I love you. Edited June 8, 2014 by Th3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google doesn't sell your information, they keep it in their database but its not sold to third parties. They do sometimes provide anonymous data to third parties tho.

If they sold their information to others, there would be no need for google anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of them calling out the NSA for infringing privacy rights is that they themselves collect data about everything you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want them to collect information about you, you simply don't use their services. Where NSA collects regardless of what you want. The anonymous data they sell is just for statistics. They don't give them your personal information, so who cares. Their ad system has helped countless businesses, so a user searching for pc parts doesn't get an ad about a cupcake restaurants.
