Google has made several changes to adapt to RGPD compliance, emphasizing transparency and a new dynamic to help users understand how their data is used.
Google improves privacy controls and explains with videos how it uses our data
On the one hand, it has worked on a new version of its Privacy Policy, which will come into effect on 25 May, improving the way in which information is presented. They make it clear what types of data they collect from users when they use Google services, for what purpose they are collected, and how users can manage their data.
In addition, we have added information about the options available to you to export or delete data from Google’s services. To make it easier for users to understand this information, they have added many illustrations and explanatory videos, so that they can easily understand the concept.
They have also added accesses to go directly to the settings within the privacy controls, to make the changes they want, as they become aware of the Privacy Policy. And on the other hand, some details of the privacy controls of My Account have also been improved to make it easier for users to manage their data.
In other words, Google has improved the way it presents information, but there is no change in the way we collect our data, nor in the way, we set up to manage it.
The new Google Privacy Policy is not yet in effect, but we can already see it from this link.
