In May, Google accidentally collected unencrypted WiFi payload data using Street View cars. The company has appointed Alma Whitten as its director of privacy across both engineering and product management. Eustace: “We are mortified by what happened, but confident that these changes to our processes and structure will significantly improve our internal privacy and security practices for the benefit of all our users” The company will be constantly on the lookout for additional improvements to its privacy procedures as Google grows, he says. Its clear from those inspections that while most of the data is fragmentary, in some instances entire emails and URLs were captured.”]
