Google Tracks User Data The Most Amongst Big Tech Platforms: Report
A new analysis suggests that Google tracks user data the most amongst the major digital platforms including Twitter, Apple, Amazon and Facebook. According to the report, Google collects 39 data points for each user.
According to an analysis by StockApps.com, Google harvest the most data from the big tech platforms. The analysis further says that Twitter and Facebook both save more information than they need to. However, with Facebook, most of the data they store is information users enter. But Google collects more different types of information for individual users.
The analysis revealed that Apple is better than Amazon at protecting user privacy. In fact, Apple was touted as the most privacy-conscious firm which uses user information just to maintain their accounts.
Commenting on the analysis, StockApps.com’s Edith Reads said, “Most people do not have the time or patience to read privacy policies that can be several pages long for each website they visit. Also, it is quite unlikely that all users have a background in law to properly grasp the privacy policy. Besides, users lack time, patience, or energy to try to figure out what information websites are storing and how they are using it to their advantage. As a result, users end up allowing Google to harvest all the data they need by agreeing to the privacy policy terms.”
