Apparently as of March 1st, 2012, Google will be tying together all the activity I do across any and all Google properties, and mining all of my old search history, both on Google the search engine and YouTube. Yikes! How can I opt out?<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re right that Google is aggregating its complex web of privacy policies and simultaneously creating a single data store of all your search and usage history, though it doesn&#8217;t seem to extend to your Google Map searches, Google Doc document content, etc. As Google describes it, &#8220;We&#8217;re getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that&#8217;s a lot shorter and easier to read.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More importantly: &#8220;We use information collected from cookies and other technologies&#8230; to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services. For example, by saving your language preferences, we&#8217;ll be able to have our services appear in the language you prefer. When showing you tailored ads, we will not associate a cookie or anonymous identifier with sensitive categories, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation or health&#8230;.We may combine personal information from one service with information, including personal information, from other Google services &#8211; for example to make it easier to share things with people you know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some people are very anxious about this change and others see it as digital business as usual and nothing to worry about. If you&#8217;re worried, there are a couple of things you can do, the easiest of which is to simply log out of your Google account prior to doing a search or similar. How to do that? Go to the Google home page and look on the top right for your name.
