As part of the International Data Privacy Day, Google has published their privacy principles online so we can all have a better understanding of how they go about this issue.

Google’s Five Privacy Principles are:

• Use information to provide our users with valuable products and services.
• Develop products that reflect strong privacy standards and practices.
• Make the collection of personal information transparent.
• Give users meaningful choices to protect their privacy.
• Be a responsible steward of the information we hold.

Google says “Like our design and software guidelines, these privacy principles are designed to guide the decisions we make when we create new technologies. They are one of the key reasons our engineers have worked on new privacy-enhancing initiatives and features like the Google Dashboard, the Ads Preferences Manager and the Data Liberation Front. And there is more in store for 2010″.

You can also find out more information at  Google Privacy Center and on their YouTube channel.
