Subject: Does Google retain logs of personally identifiable search data?
For IP, if you wish:
In conversations about Google, the question has come up - does Google
keep logs of searches correlated with IP address or other personally
identifiable information for users who have not logged in?
I don't think Google has made a public statement on this matter, and I
have been unable to find an answer. I wonder if any of the IP readers
know.
All of the analysis I've read has seemed to start from the assumption
that they >do< keep these logs, based on the fact that they
could<. Is there any definitive evidence that you know of that they
do, or is this just speculation?
I've written a blog post elaborating on this and some of the
implications:
