Terrible terrible google

Privacy should not be disclosed. more  

Social media like Google, Facebook & WhatsApp are victimising its members by sharing their details with third parties or others without the consent of its members, which CANNOT be tolerated at any cost. This kind of criminal, immoral, insensitive, cruel, irresponsible & irreligious activities by the administrators & founders of such social media CANNOT be accepted at any cost & they are liable for criminal proceedings against them, NOW. Hence, let us join hands to not only make them tender a worldwide apology for their evil actions but also urge the Indian Govt. to ban them at the earliest. more  

Google has already shared blogpost to clarify their position. This is based on the content of the blogpost. Users control access to the content of their accounts. Gmail users have the option to access and use their email in which ever way they prefer, which is why Google makes it possible for third-party applications—like email clients, trip planners and CRMs—to integrate with Gmail. Like all other major email services, Google allows users to use 3rd party apps and services to get the most out of their account. For example, many Gmail users prefer to use the iOS Mail app, Outlook, or other clients. In addition to email clients, there are a variety of other apps that add value on top of basic email functionality. For example, travel providers like TripIt, TripCase, and Kayak help users manage the information about their trips. CRMs like Salesforce, Prosperworks, and YesWare help users keep track of their customer relationships. The user has complete choice over which additional apps they want to use to enrich their experience.Third party apps can help users stay organized, meet deadlines, and take advantage of savings opportunities. Refer to this 2017 blog post for examples and explanations of how apps can help users. Users control their data. Before a non-Google app is able to access user data, Google shows a permissions screen (to the user) that clearly shows the types of data the app can access and how it can use that data. All users are encouraged to review the permissions screen before granting access to any non-Google application. Google polices bad actors.A vibrant ecosystem of third-party apps gives users choice and helps them get the most out of their email. However, before a third-party app can access user information, all apps go through a multi-step review process that includes automated and manual review of the developer, the app’s homepage and privacy policy to ensure they are a legitimate app, and in-app testing to ensure the app works as it says it does. No humans at Google read Gmail, except in very specific cases where user asks Google to and gives explicit consent, for example -- to investigate a bug or report abuse. Google requires that third party developers who use the Gmail API have clear and prominent privacy disclosures about how they are using user data. The work of privacy and security is never done. Google has increased transparency into user Google Account, given users greater control over ads settings, and added new OAuth protections to guard against malicious apps. Google also continuously makes announcements about improving protections. It is important for consumers to keep up to date with the latest on the Safety & Security section of Google blog, and visit privacy.google.com for more information about Google's privacy and security commitments. more  

My Google chrome browsing is being viewed by some miscreants and my confidential gmail emails have been deleted. I have switched over to other Alternative search engines like Microsoft Bing and Yahoo Search apart from others like TOR. Unfortunately, we have allowed lot of private parties without much security and confidentiality agreements. All this is ok, but what will you do if some hack your internet connection as know how of cyber security and crime is very limited in India. Request the local circles manager to forward the entire post with comments to Ministry / Department of IT for resolution and be at par with developed countries. more
