@AlexC; you don’t get it, it’s not what google does to them but what other sources can do with all that info.

So what if they keep logs of the searches? What can they do with them? I bet this site keeps logs of ip’s that access it, and I am absolutely sure they keep emails too if you make a comment, but this doesn’t mean they could harm someone or do other things than improve their services based on the information available for research… Or would they? Emails can be sold to those fuckers who send spams each day….:)

Don’t use Google directly. Do your searches through http://www.scroogle.org. Scroogle allows searches with your choice of Google or other popular search engines. The difference is, Scroogle strips all your identifying information out of the query before it hits the Google servers.

Scroogle maintains no user records and deletes all search logs within 24 to 48 hours.

I use Scroogle as my homepage because they don’t check where you go when you leave there or where you are coming from when you enter.

Oh, only 18-24 months!??! Geez. I don’t nearly as much about someone knowing what I searched for 18-24 months ago as what I searched for yesterday. To me, this is very uneventful and scares me a bit more than I was to know that Google keeps personally identifiable information even 18-24 months (I had previously assumed surely they would wipe it sooner than that).
