Google To Offer More Privacy Controls

Google To Offer More Privacy Controls

Enterprise & IT Jun 1,2015 0

Google is rolling out two improvements to its privacy and security tools: a new hub for managing your Google settings called My Account, and a new site that answers important questions about privacy and security on Google. "My Account" is a settings control hub that gives you quick access to the tools that help you safeguard your data, protect your privacy, and decide what information is used to make Google services.

Here are some of the things you can do with My Account:

  • Take the Privacy Checkup and Security Checkup, a simple, step-by-step guides through your most important privacy and security settings.
  • Manage the information that can be used from Search, Maps, YouTube and other products. For example, you can turn on and off settings such as Web and App Activity, which gets you more relevant, faster search results, or Location History, which enables Google Maps and Now to give you tips for a faster commute back home.
  • Use the Ads Settings tool to control ads based on your interests and the searches you’ve done.
  • Control which apps and sites are connected to your account.

Google says My Account will a resource for everyone, even if you don't have a Google Account.

In addition to My Account, Google wants to help people find answers to common questions on these topics, such as: "What data does Google collect? What does Google do with the data it collects?"

privacy.google.com, candidly answers these questions, and more. Google's new website answers frequently asked questions, such as whether the company sells personal data and what information is given to advertisers.

"We knew that users find privacy and security really mysterious so we wanted to make it very approachable," said Guemmy Kim, product manager for account controls and settings.

Monday's rollout comes on the heels of newly increased app permissions for Android M, which Google announced at its annual developer’s conference last week. The new system mirrors the app permissions on Apple's iPhones, which do not allow apps to automatically access numerous types of data, such as location or phone contacts.
