Updates to Google’s Privacy Policy
According to a report in Gizmodo, Google has updated its privacy policy and made it clear that it will rely on publicly available data. “Google uses information to improve our services and develop new products, features and technologies that benefit our users and the public. For example, we use publicly available information to help train Google’s AI models and build products and features such as Google Translate, Bard and Cloud AI capabilities,” the updated policy said.

Why Google collects data
Google says that it collects information to provide better services to all its users. This will include finding out from basic things like what language you speak, to more complex things like which ads people find useful or who are the people who matter most to you online. Google says in its privacy policy, “The information Google collects, and how that information is used, depends on how you use our services and how you manage your privacy controls.” ”
What type of user data is used?
This is a lot of data – not all but a lot – that Google uses. The information Google collects includes browser type and settings, device type and settings, operating system, mobile network information including carrier name and phone number, and application version number. Google’s privacy policy states, “We also collect information about your apps, browser, and device interactions with our services, including IP addresses, crash reports, system activity, and the date, time, and referrer URL of your request.” “
