Google has just released slimmed down privacy policies, putting an umbrella privacy policy over all Google products, specific privacy policies for specific Google applications, and has simplified their language to be more clear according to their recent post.

The Google Privacy Center says:

We are updating our privacy policies to make them more user-friendly and to better reflect how our products work together.

Also, you can visit the Google Privacy Tools page to do things like see what information is in your Google account, choose Ad Preferences and more. Google has given more control over privacy on their information while viewing websites, at least those connected somehow with Google, like Google sites, services and websites using Google Services such as Google Analytics.

The post also says:

So we’re simplifying and updating Google’s privacy policies. To be clear, we aren’t changing any of our privacy practices; we want to make our policies more transparent and understandable.

… so we don’t have to worry about the search giant becoming evil and changing their privacy policies and giving away or selling our personally identifiable information. To the contrary the pages mentioned above (Google Privacy Center and Google Privacy Tool) give web surfers more control over their info.
