"Our concerns have been heard and acted on," said Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler. "We're pleased this dialogue has produced some progress, but there is still much more to do and we plan to keep up the pressure." The discussions began last year, when 36 attorneys general wrote to CEO Larry Page expressing concerns with the way Google handles consumers' privacy. Since then, they have pressed the company to make improvements in multiple areas, including its consumer education about how information gets combined across Google platforms; its notice to consumers about their existing privacy controls and how to access them; and its transparency to consumers about what information Google is collecting. Their newest letter to Page is available at the link below. http://www.oag.state.md.us/Press/Google_Improving_Privacy_Controls.pdf (PDF) _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Free Whitepaper: Measuring Digital Experience Management ROI Improving digital engagement and customer satisfaction is a good thing, as we all know.
