We reported of Google Chrome’s EULA having a basic flaw when it came to the terms and conditions that rendered all the information accessed via Chrome was in Google’s hands to share without granting any royalty to its users or taking their permission.
The news brought forward great concerns and users questioned if there information is at all kept private or will it be flashed to the public whenever and in whatever way Google wants (Street View is an example). Google thought it would get away with it but upon being caught, they immediately issued news of altering section 11, to make users feel more protected.
The new rule has been confirmed and replaced in the EULA as reported officially:
11. Content license from you
11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.
I guess Google should be a bit more careful and read through what exactly is its EULA asking users to agree with. Changes in other languages for the section would be done so in due time and those who have already agreed and downloaded Chrome automatically have been shifted to agreeing with the new terms and conditions. Thanks Google!
