While { -brand-name-chrome } proves to be a safe web browser, its privacy record is questionable. { -brand-name-google } actually collects a disturbingly large amount of data from its users including location, search history and site visits. { -brand-name-google } makes its case for data collection saying it’s doing it to improve its services – like helping you find a sweater or a coffee shop like the one you previously bought or visited. However, others might disagree, making the point that { -brand-name-google } is actually gathering an unprecedented amount of data for its own marketing purposes. They tout that they’re keeping your information private from hackers, but that’s beside the point. { -brand-name-google } itself runs the world’s largest advertising network, thanks in large part to data they harvest from their users.
Iako se { -brand-name-chrome } pokazao kao siguran pretraživač, još uvijek postoje sumnje u njegovu evidenciju privatnosti. U stvari, { -brand-name-google } prikuplja ogromne količine podataka od svojih korisnika, uključujući vašu lokaciju, historiju pretraživanja i posjete stranicama. { -brand-name-google } tvrdi da prikuplja podatke za poboljšanje korisničkih usluga, na primjer da vam pomaže da pronađete istu odeću ili kafiće koje ste prethodno kupili ili posjetili. Međutim, mnogi se ne slažu i ističu da { -brand-name-google } zapravo prikuplja nečuvene količine podataka u svoje marketinške svrhe. Oni kažu da čuvaju vaše podatke od napada hakera, ali to nije važno. Sam { -brand-name-google } je taj što, zahvaljujući podacima koje prikuplja od svojih korisnika, upravlja najvećom svjetskom mrežom za oglašavanje.
