Google has launched a controversial new privacy policy, despite evidence that it violates international data protection laws. The USZ-based internet giant has turned a blind eye to the charge, pushing ahead with its March 1 start date.
Google’s new rules regulate how it uses the huge volumes of personal data it collects through its search engine, email and other services.

The search giant is creating more comprehensive user profiles that it maintains will enhance customer experience.It will do this by gathering data on individuals from a range of different applications and filing it under a single profile. In reality, the new policy will allow Google to access to a veritable font of personal information. It is apparently shown that the profiles will be used to sell advertising which is closely tailored to users’ tastes, boosting an already lucrative annual income of $38 billion but the reality is that Google shares all its information with CIA.
The new reforms have put Google in a precarious position as a company that pertains to offer free search and email services whilst drumming up a profit through advertising sales and putting the privacy of all its users on stake. Previously, Google has been spying on its users via its browsers and search engine secretly but now, it is committing this heinous crime publicly.
Meanwhile, online polls suggests fewer than one in eight Google users have bothered to read the Internet giant's new privacy policy, which will allow the company to freely use information about what they search for and do online. So it is mandatory and obligation of all the internet users to spread this piece of writing to all their acquaintances to make them protect their privacy.
