【51CTO快訊】Google用戶們最近可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己郵箱里收到一封Google的通知，將要更改Google產(chǎn)品的隱私策略。新的隱私策略在3月1日開始實(shí)施，也就是今天。Google黑板報(bào)上放出了新隱私政策，簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)，新隱私策略的重點(diǎn)就是：整合。60多個(gè)Google產(chǎn)品，一方面是在不同產(chǎn)品之間用戶數(shù)據(jù)的互通（比如在Google文檔中調(diào)用Gmail當(dāng)中的聯(lián)系人數(shù)據(jù)），另一方面也是可以統(tǒng)一設(shè)置Google正在使用用戶在哪些產(chǎn)品中的哪些數(shù)據(jù)。

如果你不介意Google的A產(chǎn)品使用你在Google的B產(chǎn)品中的數(shù)據(jù)，那么你可以不用理會(huì)這則通告，Google會(huì)自動(dòng)應(yīng)用新的隱私政策；如果你不愿意，那么可以使用聲明最后提供的隱私工具進(jìn)行設(shè)置，讓一切維持原樣。

以下是聲明譯文：

Google新隱私政策

Google的新隱私政策于3月1日正式實(shí)施。針對(duì)此新隱私政策，我們希望向廣大用戶清楚強(qiáng)調(diào)：用戶使用Google產(chǎn)品的體驗(yàn)從未發(fā)生變化，我們對(duì)用戶隱私的保護(hù)從未改變。

在上述新隱私政策開始實(shí)施之后，隨著時(shí)間的推移，我們將可以更好地改善產(chǎn)品，以幫助用戶從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上獲得更多。

由于用戶對(duì)我們所做的改變存在一些誤解和疑問(wèn)，因此我們正在通過(guò)一項(xiàng)有史以來(lái)最大規(guī)模的教育活動(dòng)來(lái)向用戶解釋這一新政策所帶來(lái)的改變。

我們想強(qiáng)調(diào)的是：

我們的隱私政策現(xiàn)在變得更容易理解

我們把60多個(gè)單一產(chǎn)品的隱私條款中的重要部分整合到了新隱私政策中。這樣，用戶就不需要去對(duì)具體某個(gè)產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行單獨(dú)的設(shè)置。新隱私政策用簡(jiǎn)單清晰的語(yǔ)言向用戶解釋：在大部分服務(wù)中，我們正在收集哪些數(shù)據(jù)，以及我們將如何使用這些數(shù)據(jù)。

新隱私政策將確保我們?yōu)榈卿浻脩籼峁┮粋€(gè)更好、更直觀、一致的用戶體驗(yàn)。

當(dāng)用戶登錄Google時(shí)，你們通常都期待Google所有的產(chǎn)品能夠無(wú)縫地協(xié)同工作。例如，某個(gè)用戶正在使用Google Docs，當(dāng)您想把某個(gè)文檔分享給某個(gè)Gmail用戶時(shí)，您希望這個(gè)用戶的地址就在手邊。我們的隱私政策一直允許我們把來(lái)自不同產(chǎn)品的信息與對(duì)應(yīng)的賬戶相整合——從而讓我們能高效地基于您的用戶數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)提供更好的服務(wù)。然而，之前的政策限制了我們把您的YouTube以及搜索歷史記錄與其他賬戶的信息整合到一起。新隱私政策將打破這些藩籬，讓我們能夠基于更多的用戶信息來(lái)為您提供更好的服務(wù)。

未來(lái)，例如當(dāng)您在頻繁搜索“Jamie Oliver”之后 ，我們將可以在您上YouTube搜索食譜時(shí)為您推薦Jamie Oliver的視頻，或者，在您使用其他Google產(chǎn)品時(shí)，我們也可以向您推送有關(guān)他撰寫的食譜書籍的廣告。

我們對(duì)用戶隱私的保護(hù)從未改變

谷歌的新隱私政策不會(huì)改變?nèi)魏维F(xiàn)有的隱私設(shè)置，也不會(huì)改變對(duì)個(gè)人信息的保護(hù)以確保它們不在谷歌之外被共享。我們不收集用戶的任何新信息或超出之前范圍的額外信息。我們不會(huì)出售您的個(gè)人數(shù)據(jù)。我們將一如既往地運(yùn)用業(yè)界領(lǐng)先的安全解決方案來(lái)全方位保護(hù)您的個(gè)人信息。

如果您認(rèn)為信息共享將無(wú)法改善您的用戶體驗(yàn)，您可以使用我們的隱私工具，選擇編輯或關(guān)閉您的搜索歷史和YouTube瀏覽歷史，嚴(yán)格管理谷歌按照您的興趣來(lái)推送網(wǎng)絡(luò)廣告，并用 “匿名incognito”方式通過(guò)Chrome瀏覽網(wǎng)頁(yè)。不用登錄，您仍然能夠使用搜索、地圖和YouTube服務(wù)。您甚至可以把個(gè)人信息分解到不同帳戶，因?yàn)槲覀儾](méi)有跨不同賬戶整合個(gè)人信息。此外，我們承諾繼續(xù)遵守“數(shù)據(jù)解放(data liberation)”計(jì)劃。因此，您可以將您的個(gè)人信息帶到其他任何地方。

我們將不遺余力的繼續(xù)通過(guò)各種方式來(lái)幫助您更好地理解我們的隱私政策，并更好地管理我們?nèi)绾问褂媚懈督o的個(gè)人信息。Google為您而造。我們認(rèn)為這些變化將會(huì)讓我們的服務(wù)做得更好。

Google’s new Privacy Policy

Our updated Privacy Policy takes effect today, March 1. As you use our products one thing will be clear: it’s the same Google experience that you’re used to, with the same controls.

And because we’re making these changes, over time we’ll be able to improve our products in ways that help our users get the most from the web.
 

While we’ve undertaken the most extensive user education campaign in our history to explain the coming changes, we know there has been a fair amount of chatter and confusion.
 

Here are a few important points to bear in mind:
 

Our privacy policy is now much easier to understand.
We’ve included the key parts from more than 60 product-specific notices into our main Google Privacy Policy—so there’s no longer any need to be your own mini search engine if you want to work out what’s going on. Our Privacy Policy now explains, for the vast majority of our services, what data we’re collecting and how we may use it, in plain language.
 

Our privacy policy will enable us to build a better, more intuitive user experience across Google for signed-in users.
If you’re signed in to Google, you expect our products to work really beautifully together. For example, if you’re working on Google Docs and you want to share it with someone on Gmail, you want their email right there ready to use. Our privacy policies have always allowed us to combine information from different products with your account—effectively using your data to provide you with a better service. However, we’ve been restricted in our ability to combine your YouTube and Search histories with other information in your account. Our new Privacy Policy gets rid of those inconsistencies so we can make more of your information available to you when using Google.
 

So in the future, if you do frequent searches for Jamie Oliver, we could recommend Jamie Oliver videos when you’re looking for recipes on YouTube—or we might suggest ads for his cookbooks when you’re on other Google properties.

Our privacy controls aren’t changing.
The new policy doesn’t change any existing privacy settings or how any personal information is shared outside of Google. We aren’t collecting any new or additional information about users. We won’t be selling your personal data. And we will continue to employ industry-leading security to keep your information safe.

If you don’t think information sharing will improve your experience, you can use our privacy tools to do things like edit or turn off your search history and YouTube history, control the way Google tailors ads to your interests and browse the web “incognito” using Chrome. You can use services like Search, Maps and YouTube if you are not signed in. You can even separate your information into different accounts, since we don’t combine personal information across them. And we’re committed to data liberation, so if you want to take your information elsewhere you can.

We’ll continue to look for ways to make it simpler for you to understand and control how we use the information you entrust to us. We build Google for you, and we think these changes will make our services even better.
