I don’t know if you’ve ever stopped to consider all the information Google has been collecting about your profile over the years.
These are some of the aspects included in the ESET infographic for international dissemination.
I’ll try to discuss all the data entry tools that Google can connect if it wants to collect all your information according to its new privacy policy:
- Google Alerts: Search through blog posts and corresponding comments.
- Gmail: This popular email service lets you conveniently study your messages and contacts.
- Google Adwords: which products interest you in your searches and which ones you use for your business can also be stored
- Google Adsense: What is your income related to your websites?
- Doubleclick: Your technology foundation for publishing and ad management for the world’s digital media buyers, creators and sellers.
- Google Calendar: your calendars, your agendas…
- iGoogle: your favourite desktops, your information, your tastes, your interests…
- Google Analytics: analysis of your online services
- Android: your favourite apps, your habits…
- Photos: your photos shared online
- Apps: your documentation in online applications such as Google Docs, surveys, slides…
- Google Earth and Google Maps: show you where you are, what routes you are looking for, and where you are moving…
- FeedBurner: Your subscriber lists
- Youtube: what interests you, what entertains you, what amuses you, what worries you…
- Favourites: what you use frequently
- Google+: What is your social interaction like?
The infographic ends with a kind of reflection:
Search terms, history & clicks.
Sometimes, some things are scary just thinking about them…
