Google announced a plan Tuesday to link user data across its email, video, social-networking and other services that it says will create a "beautifully simple and intuitive" user experience. But critics raised privacy concerns like those that helped kill the search giant's Buzz social networking service.

The changes, which take effect March 1, will remove some of the legal hurdles Google Inc. faces in trying to link information across services from Gmail to YouTube to the Google Plus social network that replaced Buzz.

More than 70 different company policies are being streamlined into one main privacy policy and about a dozen others. Separate policies will continue to govern products including Google's Chrome Web browser and its Wallet service for electronic payments.

The company said the new system will give users more relevant search results and information, while helping advertisers find customers - especially on mobile devices.

For example, if you spend an hour on Google searching the Web for skateboards, the next time you log into YouTube, you might get recommendations for videos featuring Tony Hawk, along with ads for his merchandise and the nearest place to buy them.

"If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries - or tailor your search results - based on the interests you've expressed in Google (Plus), Gmail and YouTube," the company says on a new overview page for its privacy policies. "We'll better understand (what) you're searching for and get you those results faster."

The changes follow the shutdown of Buzz last month. After its introduction less than two years ago, the social networking tool was ridiculed for exposing users' most-emailed contacts to other participants by default, inadvertently revealing some users' ongoing contact with ex-spouses and competitors.

Google has since made Plus the focal point of its challenge to Facebook's social network. In the first seven months since its debut, Plus has attracted more than 90 million users, according to Google. To promote Plus, Google recently began including recommendations about people and companies with Plus accounts in its search results. That change has provoked an outcry from critics who say Google is abusing its dominance in Internet search to drive more traffic to its own services.

Google and the Federal Trade Commission reached a settlement last year that forbids Google from misrepresenting how it uses personal information and from sharing an individual's data without prior approval. Google also agreed to biennial privacy audits for the next two decades.

Google said it talked to regulators about the upcoming privacy changes, which it will apply worldwide. An FTC spokeswoman declined to comment on the changes or say whether the agency was consulted.

Some critics saw Google as trying to beat regulators to the punch by setting a precedent before the FTC unveils its own framework for protecting online privacy.

Jeff Chester, executive director of the privacy group Center for Digital Democracy, said Google hopes "that by creating a one-stop shop for privacy policy it will deflect regulatory action."

Google, Facebook and other popular Internet services all want to learn as much as possible about their users so they can sell more advertising at higher rates to marketers looking to target people interested in specific products, such as golf clubs or skinny jeans.

Google says users who opt to see personalized ads are 37 per cent more likely to respond to an ad than people who opt out of targeting.

The changes follow a rare letdown in revenue growth at Google's lucrative advertising network. Google's fourth-quarter earnings report last week showed the company's average revenue per click fell 8 per cent from the previous year, despite robust growth in online shopping at the holidays.

Google shares, which have fallen 9 per cent since the report, closed Tuesday at $580.93, down $4.59 for the day.

Ryan Calo, director for privacy at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, said Google is trying to make its policy privacy transparent instead of bogging users down with pages of legalese; the new privacy policies run about 10,000 words, down from 68,000.

But he said the company must ensure that the ways it uses data help users without revealing sensitive information.

"If it creeps people out, then they need to be aware of that," he said.

  • The bigger picture here is this. They are not doing this to better serve you, they are doing this to aggregate information about you that gives the CIA the ability to "profile" you and watch your every move. After NDAA, we are all "terrorist". They are going to shutdown the internet on March 8th to implement some kind of change.They are selling it as security against a so called cyber threat, but of course we all know our government is the threat right now.Welcome to Nazi America. Get ready!

  • @ObamaDefeat2012 That is absolutely to the point. And beware of Anonymous, i have my reservations to that "movement". They have total control of our computers right now, if they want to....

  • Welcome to the real world. Our privacy has been being invaded for a very long time....it is only now coming out into the open .....because the globalists don't give a damn what we know; they have already destroyed by corruption and emplacement of their minions all of our social institutions. And "institutions" is an apt way to refer to them.

  • @olga2415 Wise words as always, Olga. If only more pple were aware of the fact that we should have taken action years ago, when there still would have been a chance to change the way we handle on the net. Now we're just made of glass out there.

  • awwwwwwwwww fuck

  • @Star11Seed That you do not understand what I am trying to say is the point of my extreme frustration at how little people know about how the world of existance really works instead of how they believe it works. Stick with your belief in Jesus Christ. It's a faith better placed than in ANY politician.

  • @olga2415 , I am aware this is it , I am awake and I am very thankful for the salvation of Jesus Christ. I am not sure what your trying to say here

  • This is disgraceful, how will we ever know which parts of the net we're missing out on if we are always directed the way Google wants us to go?

  • The only thing that is changing here is that Google will now be aggregating all of the information across all of its products. They have always gleaned our e-mail. If there was invasion of privacy, it was always there. I actually much rather having a privacy policy I can actually read, as opposed to what existed before (lengthy passages of law-speak).

    It is also very useful to note that FOX News is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. The same anti-Google Rupert Murdoch.

  • @Star11Seed Enough with the Ron Paul spiel. No one has run for high office since 1913 that is NOT ONE OF THEIR HAND PICKED STOOGES! Wake up! You would waste your prayers less to aim your hopes for salvation in Jesus Christ.
