Google rolls out new privacy policy

WASHINGTON (AFP) ¡ª Google rolled out a new privacy policy Thursday allowing the firm to track users across various services to develop targeted advertising, despite sharp criticism from U.S. and European consumer advocacy groups.

Google contends the move simplifies and unifies its policies across its various services such as Gmail, YouTube, Android mobile systems, social networks and Internet search.

``The new policy doesn’t change any existing privacy settings or how any personal information is shared outside of Google,” Google privacy chief Alma Whitten said on the Google Blog Thursday.

But critics including European privacy agencies and U.S. consumer watchdogs argued the new policy, which offers no ability to opt out aside from refraining from signing into Google services, gives the Internet giant unprecedented ability to monitor its users. And some say it violates EU privacy protections.

“Calling this a ‘privacy policy’ is Orwellian doublespeak,” said John Simpson of the U.S. advocacy group Consumer Watchdog. “Google isn’t telling you about protecting your privacy. Google is telling you how they will gather information about you on all its services, combine it in new ways and use the fat new digital dossiers to sell more ads. They’re telling you how they plan to spy on you. It’s a spy policy.”

A coalition of European and U.S. consumer advocacy groups made a last-ditch appeal to Internet search and advertising giant Google on Wednesday to delay the changes.

In a joint letter to Google chief executive Larry Page, the Trans Atlantic Consumer Dialogue urged Google to delay implementation of the changes, saying it would “combine data from all of your services... into a single profile without user consent and without any meaningful opportunity for users to opt-out.”

U.S. Federal Trade Commission chairman Jon Leibowitz has said Google is forcing users to make a “brutal choice” ¡ª ending its use of the service or complying with the new monitoring scheme.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center said it is appealing a judge’s ruling that dismissed its legal challenge to Google’s privacy policy. The group says Google is violating a settlement it reached with the FTC requiring the company to protect user data.
