Google protects the identity of the user

Standing in front of the mass of data about users piling up like mountains, the search giant has stepped up another step in protecting personal privacy for its customers: Anonymous search of all search requests.

Specifically, in the next 18-24 months, Google will perform anonymity and erase information about the surfing habits of tens of millions of Internet users. In theory, if based on this information, people can track the identity of the user.

Source: AFP In Google's operating model, it collects information about search keywords, Internet addresses and "cookies" to track customers' Web surfing habits.

These data are stored inside huge computer data centers, scattered in many locations around the world.

In the past, in order to make Web search easy and convenient, Google decided to save information about the specific browsing habits of each user.

As a result, the search results can be "sharpened" and selected to better suit the needs and interests of users. However, under the new policy, unless specifically requested, the data will be deleted after a certain period of time.

Under the plan, Google will deploy this plan right here in 2008. "With the deletion of user data on the server after 18-24 months, we will achieve a balance between two goals: continue to improve service quality but still ensure transparency and personal privacy. for customers, "Google announced.
