Posted June 15, 2006 Excuse me, but what the fuck would Google want with your puny credit card? Not google, but other entities may be interested in doing "business" with google. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2006 Not google, but other entities may be interested in doing "business" with google. Because Google is always interested in shady deals, that's why everyone trusts them :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2006 Before you assume Google are telling your Mother that you download porn, or whatever it is you're worried about, you should read their Privacy Policy, remind yourself of the Data Protection Act 1984 and remember that Google has a market capitalisation of $83.09 Billion, without having to steal the £6.84 in your Natwest student account.

Posted June 15, 2006 Ouch! I dont divulge my private details to whoever or whatever company unless I need to. (there's an awful lot more than £6.84 in my bank account, and tbh I'm a bit too old for someone to go squealing to my mother about me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 15, 2006 i'm pretty sure what you have in your bank account is insignificant to whatever google has in theirs :P And anyways, they have some of the strictest rules about privacy of the user... IT's not the fact that they need, it that they can! Just because they can doesn't mean they will... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2006 Not google, but other entities may be interested in doing "business" with google. You know, Google was the only "proper" search engine that did not give any information to the US government when they wanted it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
