Google: Results with a side of privacy?

We all know that Google is really (i mean REALLY) good at personalizing search for every spefic user to predict a search query before the person even started to think of something to type of. This is all fine and dandy, but indexing all search results that every Google user makes raises a bit of a concern about the amount of data that Google actually stores about you and your personal life.

Criticism of Google includes possible misuse and manipulation of search results, its use of others' intellectual property, concerns that its compilation of data may violate people's privacy, censorship of search results and content, and the energy consumption of its servers as well as concerns over traditional business issues such as antitrust, monopoly, and restraint of trade.
Google Inc. is an American multinational public corporation invested in Internet search, cloud computing, and advertising technologies. Google hosts and develops a number of Internet-based services and products, and generates profit primarily from advertising through its AdWords program. Google's stated mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful"; this mission, and the means used to accomplish it, have raised concerns among the company's critics. Much of the criticism pertains to issues that have not yet been addressed by cyber law.

So, would you still use Google, knowingly, that they might be storing personal data for someone else? :eek:
 
Google Privacy Settings

Keeping all of this in mind i have few points to make and the first is that Google should make it very clear it to every body that they will be saving or recording or tracking their searches but they would rather not do it. They have make the things so complicated that the user does not even know that his history is being saved.

The good thing of this privacy issue by google is that User can turn it off if they want to and do cares about their privacy. So user can log in and change their Google privacy settings and they can opt to turn their search history off. So it would be better if the google would have done a better task to inform user in a more descriptive way but as long as Google is using this for good no body should have a problem with it.
