Cookies, IP addresses, logs — all of these
are important things to understand in the context of online
privacy. We try to explain them in clear and simple language in our
href="http://www.google.com/privacy.html" >privacy policy and href="http://www.google.com/privacy_faq.html" >FAQ.
But they're not always easy for non-techies to understand.
Google is committed to being transparent about our privacy
practices. We've been thinking about different ways to help
people understand the technical aspects of online privacy, to
improve transparency, and to empower you to make informed decisions
about how you want to use our services. Today, we're launching
our first experiment to href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLgJYBRzUXY" >explain basic
privacy concepts via video on YouTube. Here it is:

This video runs about 5 minutes, so we
couldn’t cover everything. Over time, we hope to create additional
videos where we talk about other privacy issues: what data do we
collect when you register for a Google Account? or - when you
search on Google while you’re logged in? or - why does Google keeps
server logs? But before we head down the road of sequels, we’d like
to get your feedback on whether you find this video format helpful.
So please watch it and href="http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py?form_type=user&stage=fm&user_type=user&contact_type=privacy&hl=en" >
tell us what you think. We look forward to hearing from
you.
