Google's privacy policy "too vague"

Google's global privacy lawyer has admitted that parts of the outfit's privacy policy are too vague and need to be tightened up.

In an interview with the Beeb, Peter Fleischer said the company "could do better" with policy statements that explained why user information was sometimes shared with third parties.

He said that maintaining user privacy was pretty fundamental to Google. The only time the outfit would share data was when personal information had been stripped from it. Honest.
