Privacy Implications of Advanced Features

September 26th, 2006

Q: What are the privacy implications of the Advanced Features (the PageRank meter) option on when installing the Google Toolbar?

A: Google needs to know the URLs of the pages that you visit in order to display their corresponding PageRank scores. Google states in its Privacy Policy that it doesn’t collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, and so on. And Google doesn’t share personally identifiable information with third parties. Personally, I’m not concerned.
