Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Google Privacy, recording every search you make

If your concerned with your right to privacy Google has announced a new privacy policy that will take effect on March 1, 2012. They plan to bring 60 disparate privacy documents into one umbrella policy for targeted advertisements.

Of course, not everyone is going to be thrilled with having all their search history revealed because it could reveal identifying information about your location, sexual orientation, age interests, religion and health concerns.

You can find out how to disable this feature here - Google's New Privacy Policy Starts March 1

If you visit http://google.com/history after logging into your Google account you'll likely find every search you've ever made, unless you've previously turned the feature off!

Matt,
Great info!
If I have multiple "gmail" accounts do I need to do the same for each or will once be enough?

Does having a google account (like YouTube, Blogger, etc) mean you have a gmail account?

If I remember correctly (always a concerning thing), the Android phone system is Google's and it may be required to have a G-mail account with them, especially if one wants e-mail to the phone.  What I don't remember is whether the G-mail account is required with an Android.

We have 2 Andriod phones, the Thunderbolt and the Bionic, both with Verizon.  We had to get G-mail accounts at the Verizon store with the salesman as part of setting up the phone.  I was sort of amazed to see I had over 800 searches since I got my phone in September 2011.  I'm not sure that I care if the searches are recorded.  Right now I have left the record function turned on.  I may change my mind in the future though.

Regardless of what you do on the internet or how 'secure' you think you're being there is a record of it somewhere.
