One revision to Google's privacy policy is that when you are logged in to a Google account, Google can share information on one Google service in other Google services. Also, it allows the company to track activities of users. All in all, when logged into Gmail or anything google related, google will be reading your emails and tracking what you do in order to refine your search results to something that is more likely to interest you.
In a MediaPost article about this subject, they explained that google revision's to their privacy policy are going to make things simpler to use and it will help personalize your google experience. Also, they noted that Google made an effort to cover up the injustice this policy would do to your privacy rights. Finally, they have a few words from google's point of view of how they really do care about their user's privacy.

In my opinion, I do not agree with the article or google's statements because I think it is not right or fair to intrude on someones privacy rights. i would never want anyone reading my email, especially a stranger. If google insists on doing this, then I may consider a different search engine.
