Improved readability: While our Terms remain a legal document, we've done our best to make them easier to understand, including by adding links to useful information and providing definitions.
Better communication: We've clearly explained when we'll make changes to our services (like adding or removing a feature) and when we'll restrict or end a user's access. And we'll do more to notify you when a change negatively impacts your experience on our services.

Improvements to our Privacy Policy and Privacy Controls

Google
Updating Our Privacy Policy
This month, we're updating our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand what information we collect and why we collect it. We've also taken steps to improve our Privacy Checkup and other controls we provide to safeguard your data and protect your privacy.
Nothing is changing about your current settings or how your information is processed. Rather, we've improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have to update, manage, export, and delete your data.
We're making these updates as new data protection regulations come into effect in the European Union, and we're taking the opportunity to make improvements for Google users around the world.
Making our Privacy Policy easier to understand
Simpler structure & clearer language
We've improved the navigation and organization of the policy to make it easier to find what you're looking for. We've also explained our practices in more detail and with clearer language.
New descriptive videos & illustrations
Often a visual description is easier to understand than text alone, so we've added short videos and illustrations throughout the policy.
Embedded privacy controls
We've made it easier to jump to key settings directly from the policy, helping you make choices about your privacy.
The revised policy is available here and will take effect on May 25, 2018.
Improving your privacy controls
Within the past year, we updated My Activity so that you can better access and manage the data in your Google Account. We also launched a redesigned Dashboard, which allows you to easily see an overview of products you're using and your data associated with them.
This month, we've updated our Privacy Checkup with new illustrations and examples to help you make more informed choices about your key privacy controls. And since we understand that your preferences may change over time, the new Privacy Checkup enables you to sign up for regular reminders to check your privacy settings.
To learn more about these and other controls to manage your privacy, visit your Google Account.

Good Morning:

Monday morning markets:

Europe is still in a wait and see mode-as the Spanish saga keep going-with no end in sight.
Will they/won’t they ask for a bailout.  Let’s do the bailout and go on with business.

The Greek saga continues-as the Troika continues  to talk of how to achieve the 13.5 bln euros in cuts that are needed to secure the next round of  loans.  They are looking to have an agreement by the end of the week, as the EU is having yet another summit.
If they miss this summit-there will be one coming down the pike in a few days.

Asian equity markets were mixed-Europe is higher-as are US Futures.

Oil is higher-Gold and Silver are softer. 

HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK

Good Morning:

The European Union was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for promoting peace,democracy and human rights.
They were awarded this prize-as the EU was once a continent at war-and now is a continent of peace.  Well Done!

Austarilia’s RBA is very concerned that the countries GDP is softening-as China’s economy is slowing.
The RBA will be able to move quickly on interest rate if needed.

Rumors are swirling that Spain will request ESM aid soon-after yesterday’s S&P downgrade of the country.
They should just get on with it already-this story is getting worn out - Like Greece.

US VP Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan slugged it out in their only debate.
It was a very entertaining evening-but I do not know if it swayed the undecided voters that both parties desperately need to win.

Oil is slightly higher-Gold and Silver slightly softer.

Asian equity markets were mostly higher, Europe is mostly lower-US Futures are higher.

HAVE A GREAT DAY-WEEKEND & GOOD LUCK

Good Morning:

Spain was downgraded by S&P to BBB- from BBB+.  This brings Spain’s debt rating to the brink of junk.  Can you believe that Spanish debt is  considered investment grade!  
A downgrade was expected-but the S&P announcement came as a “surprise”.  It could of only been a surprise to those who have been living in a cave for the past few years.  
Spanish officials commented that “Spain will decide on a bailout at appropriate time”.
The time has already come-this is becoming a tedious and ridiculous game of cat and mouse.
Spain’s troubles have been mounting-but yesterday’s S&P downgrade reminded the world how bad things really are.
Unemployment continues to rise, citizens are protesting against additional austerity measures, and the Catalonia region is threatening to secede from Spain.  I can go on and on-but that should give you a good idea of the issues.

In other news-Fitch Ratings put Portuguese banks on a “negative” outlook.  No surprise there-except that they should of done this months ago. 

Asian equity markets were mixed-Europe and US Futures are all higher.
Oil, Gold and Silver are all higher too.

HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK

Good Morning:

A fairly lackluster overnight session-with the majors showing no real activity.

Fitch Ratings commented that the US fiscal cliff, EU crisis, and a potential “hard landing” for the Chinese economy will be
a risk to the global economy.  Thanks-I think we knew that!

Fitch also commented that the Spanish and Italian recessions are intensifying.
They also commented on the declining UK economy-and that the UK’s rating is vulnerable.
Are they positioning themselves for a UK downgrade in the future?

After Greece greeted Angela Merkel with a protest upon her visit yesterday-Greek labor unions have decided to stage anti-austerity strike on Oct. 18.
Ms Merkel was in Greece to show her support for the Greek Prime Minister-I see that didn’t go as well as expected!

Asian and European equity markets are mostly negative-as are US Futures at this time.

Oil is flat-Gold and Silver are higher.

HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK

Good Morning:

The IMF cut it global GDP forecast-yet again.
For 2012-they cut their estimate by .2%.  From 3.5% to 3.3%.
For 2013-they cut their estimate by .3%.  From 3.9% to 3.6%.

European Finance ministers are meeting in Luxembourg today-and there is no word about Spain-and any potential bailout.
The markets were expecting some comments regarding a Spanish bailout-this was dissapointing for investors.

Negotiations are continuing in Greece, regarding the 13.5 bln euros of additional budget cuts that the country must meet for any further funds to be distributed.
Angela Merkel is in Greece today-as a sign of support for the Greek PM.  There are also a reported 7000 police officers  in Athens to
quell any violent protests that take place.

Asian equity markets were mostly higher.  Europe is mixed-and US Futures are higher.

Oil, Gold and Silver are all higher.

HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK
