Google’s new consumer privacy policy, introduced on March 1, shares user data across the company’s stable of Web services in an effort to deliver better search results and advertisements.
According to Google, universities using Google’s education platform for e-mail or other applications have contracts that determine how student data can be used. The terms of those agreements will supersede Google’s privacy policy. However, if the university network administrators have enabled extra optional services on their domains, like Google+, YouTube, or the company’s blogging platform, the use of those additions will be governed by the new privacy policy.
