From an innovation standpoint having the single privacy policy is much better for Google and end users, but when it comes to privacy itself it lacks. Not a huge lacking when combining them together but nonetheless I'd rather not have my personal web searches and professional email sending the data to be used in conjunction.


I wonder if they're going to issue the same recommendations to Microsoft: http://marketingland.com/microsoft-privacy-change-google-att...


Privacy policy: lets make websites like the Economist use cookies, but Microsoft can keep _NSAKEY in.

Remember: you have a right to privacy from corporations that want your money, not from governments that want your money.
