Google's worst privacy policy in the world

The world's number one Internet search provider Google is also the company that has the policy of protecting the privacy of the world's worst users.

This is the conclusion made in the latest report of Human Rights organization Privacy International. Ranking results are based on analyzing how companies handle personal data of users.

"Enemy policy"

In addition, the policy of protecting its privacy policy is still incomplete as well as dealing with situations of user complaints that are still very weak.
