Google's policy
So, I just read most of Google Chromes' terms, and this is what I found about privacy,
after following 2 different links buried somewhere in between the 5.000.000 words (not really but that's what it feels like) that make up the terms:
What do they collect (highlights)?
*Log information
- details of how you used our service, such as your search queries.
- telephony log information like your phone number, calling-party number, forwarding numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls.
- Internet protocol address.
- device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL.
- cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your Google Account.
*Location information
*Unique application numbers
- Certain services include a unique application number. This number and information about your installation (for example, the operating system type and application version number) may be sent to Google when you install or uninstall that service or when that service periodically contacts our servers, such as for automatic updates.
*Local storage
- We may collect and store information (including personal information) locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage (including HTML 5) and application data caches
- Our automated systems analyze your content (including emails) to provide you personally relevant product features, such as customized search results, tailored advertising, and spam and malware detection.
Who do they share this with?
*With consent, basically anyone
*With domain administrators, for administration purposes (such as disabling account and change passwords.)
"*For external processing We provide personal information to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures." (< Nice...)
For legal reasons.
