English to Portuguese: Google’s newest site proves they really DO know everything about you General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Internet, e-Commerce
Source text - English It’s no secret that Google is keeping tabs on us. After all, we use Google for everything: emails, YouTube, sharing documents — is it any surprise that they know us, or at least “internet” us? (For the book lovers out there — the circle is closing.)
Well, Google has decided to prove just how well they know us: Today, they launched a new tool called My Activity that provides some insight on just how deep their knowledge of our internet habits goes. As The Android Police explains, My Activity shows users their “various web, Google product (including all Android and Android apps), and search activities” in a user-friendly timeline. Google products include your Google Map and YouTube activity.
I’ll be honest: Some of the information on My Activity you don’t want to know. For example, I am a little disturbed by how often I search for “cute cat dresses” and “puppy videos.” (I also am apparently very concerned about the health benefits of oatmeal.) Eeeek. Along with rolling out My Activity, Google unveiled today their new personalized ad settings, as well. So if you thought those ads were eerily prescient before, just you wait. Google knows all.
For those of you who value your privacy, do not disconnect all your devices just yet: Google still needs to ask you to “opt in” to My Activity, and you can opt out. Learn more here.
Regardless, now I’m having all sorts of nightmares where my life will become that of Sandra Bullock in The Net, without the fun pizza-ordering service.
Translation - Portuguese Não é segredo que o Google está prestando atenção na gente. Afinal, nós usamos o Google para tudo: emails, YouTube, compartilhar documentos - é de se espantar que ele nos conheça, ou ao menos nos "internet" (Para os amantes de livros por aí - seu tempo está se esgotando.)
Bem, o Google decidiu provar o quão bem eles nos conhecem: Hoje, eles lançaram uma nova ferramenta chamada Minha Atividade que dá uma visão do quão profundo é seu conhecimento dos nossos hábitos na internet. Como "The Android Police" explica, Minha Atividade mostra aos usuários suas "atividades na web, nos produtos Google (incluindo todos os Android e aplicativos para Android), e em suas buscas" em uma linha do tempo simples. Os produtos do Google incluem seu Mapa Google e sua atividade do YouTube.
Serei honesto: Algumas das informações no Minha Atividade você não quer saber. Por exemplo, eu fiquei um pouco perturbado com quão frequentemente eu busco "vestidos de gatinhos" ou "videos de filhotes." (Eu aparentemente também estou bem preocupado com os benefícios da aveia na saúde.) Eca. Junto com o desenrolar do Minha Atividade, Google também revelou hoje suas novas opções personalizadas de propagandas. Então se você achava essas propagandas estranhamente prescientes antes, aguarde. Google sabe de tudo.
Para aqueles entre vocês que apreciam sua privacidade, não desconectem todos seus aparelhos ainda: Google ainda precisa pedir a você que "opte entrar" no Minhas Atividades, e você pode optar sair. Aprenda mais aqui.
Independente, agora estou tendo todos os tipos de pesadelos onde minha vida se tornará a de Sandra Bullock em A Rede, sem o serviço engraçado de pedido de pizza.
