Do you know that all your moves on net is being tracked ?, this is being done on grounds of new privacy policy being in place for Google. All your web history is being stored and analyzed without you knowing. This is being done in the name of 'combining all the user information', for better experience for the users. But, the question is what Google is going to do new which it hasn't already done before?. With out this policy in place Google is able to combine things like reading Docs without downloading with Google docs. So, what exactly are Google going to do with this information is subject to speculation. This privacy policy allows Google authority to use the user information explicitly previously it only had the authority to do so implicitly. So, the protection of personal information is now complicated and with large scope for information leak.
When asked about these problems, Google argued that user can still control their information by logging off one product before using another, but isn't that against Google's policy of easy access?. So, the reason why Google wants to track its user data remains unanswered.
So, how to prevent yourself from being tracked?, only way is to remove your Google web data history. Sign in into any Google product, go to account settings and click on 'go to web history' link. If you see list of recent searches it means web history is enabled, you can delete them to avoid your personal data being shared with a potentially insecure Privacy system.
