Could Google get a Web Privacy Seal

I dont think so

[zeus]

Once again Google dont get a good review for there Privacy Policy, if there is any [us.ft.com...] there is 2 pages.

I dont get it, they want us to place our files on there computers, but dont take privacy policy serious, about all there tools I dont even dare to talk about, I think when a Company rules the internet, they need the trust of the users.

The report isn't about privacy. It's about accountability, information disclosure, and organizational mechanisms for external stakeholders. The privacy policy is mentioned only in one small part of the report, which acknowledges that Google has a privacy policy and makes a few quibbles about its implementation (such as the fact that it's available only in English). You can read the report for yourself at:

I just wanted to say with this article that once again they are not at the top, where they should be when they rule the net. Privacy Policy at google has so many holes, its incredible, its often also mentioned in PC mags here.

Maybe you're right about Google's privacy policy, and maybe you aren't, but the fact remains that the British NGO's report was about general accountability, information disclosure, and organizational mechanisms for external stakeholders. A subject line such as "Could Google get a Web Privacy Seal? / I don't think so" misrepresents the focus, nature, and conclusions of the report.
