- Google sent a 13-page letter to several members of Congress, standing firm behind its changes to Google privacy policies.
- The company said the changes are intended to “make [the privacy policies] simpler and more understandable, and to improve the user experience across Google.”
- According to the letter, Google is not collecting any additional data about individuals and users’ existing settings will not be affected.
- “If a user is signed in, she can still edit or turn off her search history, switch Gmail chat to ‘off the record,’ control the way Google tailors ads to her interests using our Ads Preferences Manager, use Incognito mode on Chrome, or use any of the other privacy tools we offer,” explains the letter.
- Google’s letter comes in response to representatives’ concerns about consumers inability to opt out of data collection.
