| 2009 | Mishandling of private data: | Les Echos |
| 2008 | Spying: By downloading Google's browser, Chrome, users agree to give up copyright to their own files. The browser's End User Licence Agreement contained a clause giving the company a "perpetual, irrevocable" licence to "reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any content" submitted or displayed through its browser, as well as "sharing" the user's information with other organisations. For many, even those who would normally share their knowledge for free, this would not only include their personal details, but also things like programming code, which could then be reproduced by corporations for commercial purposes.
The company has since been forced to modify its licence after a flood of complaints, claiming it was an "accident" resulting from hastily pasting its "standard terms." The clause now states that users "retain copyright and any other rights" but does not say whether Google would not still store this information and share it with a third party.: | Corporate Watch |
