What Google knows about You!

Eleni Gessiou

Lately, Google advertises its logo about the new privacy policy “One policy, one Google experience”!

So, I spent some time reading the overview and searching (in Google of course!) for it..

The results of my research are the following links:

https://www.google.com/dashboard/

http://www.google.com/s2/search/social?hl=en

and especially if you own an Android mobile phone:

https://www.google.com/contacts_v2/#contacts

Now you can find all your friends’ phone numbers using your web browser only! Convenient or Scary?…

Take a look at what Google knows about you and tune your privacy policies!

Now, I’m sure.. Google knows everything!

Mastercard, Visa to help Target Ads

Similar story to Verizon is coming up..

(Taken from Slashdot. Source: Mastercard, Visa to help Target Ads)

“The two largest credit-card networks, Visa Inc. and MasterCard Inc., are pushing into a new business: using what they know about people’s credit-card purchases for targeting them with ads online. ‘A MasterCard documentobtained by the Journal outlines some of the company’s plans, which included linking Web users with purchases. According to document, the credit card provider said it believes “you are what you buy.” … Visa is planning a similar service, which would aggregate its customers’ purchase history into segments, including location, to make ads more effective at appealing to people in a respective area.’”
