Google's new policies start tomorrow

I've been using startpage.com but does this mean I should get rid of my gmail accounts?  If so, how do I do that?

"#Information you give us.

For example, many of our services require you to sign up for a Google Account. When you do, we'll ask for personal information, like your name, email address, telephone number or credit card.

We may collect information about the services that you use and how you use them, like when you visit a website that uses our advertising services or you view and interact with our ads and content. This information includes:

*Device information

We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number). Google may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your Google Account.

When you use our services or view content provided by Google, we may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs. This may include:

* details of how you used our service, such as your search queries.

getting kinda creepy

Yup.    Someone was telling me that their boyfriend got a speeding ticket, (in NH), by an airplane that he couldn't see but they track your speed and then get in touch with the cops.   So a cop came out of nowhere after being notified that her boyfriend was speeding and gave him a ticket, the cop told him about the airplane.

Rick told me this stuff has been happening and that you can even get a ticket in the mail from being radar tracked by a plane.
