Most Gmail users will have received at least one message from Google this week (I received ten) explaining the company’s new privacy policy.  The company has more than 60 privacy policies tied to its various products and services and so, in March 2012, it will be streamlining this all down into one policy.

Many bloggers and Internet industry pundits are saying this new approach is all a little too ‘Big Brother’ for comfort.  Maybe it is.  But this unified approach seems inevitable considering Google ubiquity across the Web.  The only surprise is that it’s not happened sooner than 2012.

For those who’ve not had the time to look at the detail of what Google’s new privacy policy means to them, here’s a short video explanation.
