According to a recent research, Google collects the most data of any major technology company, including Twitter, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook. According to an investigation done by StockApps.com, Google gathers the most information about its users, keeping track of 39 different categories of private information for each user.
"Most individuals don't have the time or patience to go through privacy rules that might be numerous pages lengthy for each site they visit." Furthermore, it is doubtful that every user has the legal expertise to completely appreciate the privacy requirements," StockApps.com's Edith Reads wrote in a release. "Aside from the fact that consumers lack the patience, time, and energy to understand what information websites contain and how they might profit from it." This implies that consumers may provide Google access to all of their information simply accepting the privacy regulations," Reads noted.
According to the survey, Google takes the cake when it comes to tracking the most of your data. This should come as no surprise considering their whole business strategy is based on data. Twitter and Facebook both preserve more data than is necessary. However, the majority of the data stored by Facebook is the information entered by users. In terms of user privacy, Apple outperforms Amazon. It is the most concerned about privacy. Apple only saves the information required to keep customers' accounts active. This is because their website is not as reliant on advertising revenue as are Google, Twitter, and Facebook, the report said.
Each of these data organisations focuses on a certain type of data rather than the quantity of data. Google collects a broader range of information about individual users. Instead of using third-party trackers, the company depends on this data for customised advertising. Meanwhile, a security researcher has levelled significant charges against Meta (formerly known as Facebook) and Instagram.
