Google ties up with Election Commission for voters’ registration (indiatimes.com)

Indian Election Commission has gifted the entire country's electoral data to Google. The electoral data includes (at least) voter's name, father or husband's name, address, age and sex. Apparently its a service being done by Google as part of its CSR obligations. It is not clear if Google can use it for any other purposes.


Anything for data :)
