The main collector and custodian of "all the information in the world" - Google Corporation - is clearly tired of reproaches for violating other people's privacy. Claims to Google are voiced not only by human rights organizations, but also by the governments of some countries. To dot all the “i”, the company offers to clearly formulate the rules of this ill-fated privacy, in order to understand what it is all about.

Google’s privacy strategy will be announced today at the UNESCO Human Rights Conference. There will be a speech by Peter Fleischer. He explainsthat the meaning of the new initiative of the search giant is to organize cooperation between private companies and the public sector in order to develop generally accepted norms that will be partially prescribed in laws and partially formed through self-regulation.

Why self-regulation? Yes, because the society, according to Google, over time can greatly soften its requirements for privacy. Over time, people can understand that maximally revealing their personal data is beneficial for themselves (except for the credit card number, of course).

Key principles of the global privacy standardalready formulated by experts from the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization (APEC). It is their company that Google proposes to take as a basis when developing a global standard.

2. The inviolability of personal information.
3. Notification.

5. Restrictions on the collection of information.
