[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 784511, member: 59283"] Technically they're not selling the information. Advertisers use audience selection tools to choose the types of users they want their ads to reach, then Google uses the information they've gathered from users to match them with the advertisers' chosen audiences. Obviously this doesn't mean your information isn't leaking out elsewhere (like what happened with Facebook or Google+), but I'd be less concerned about the security of the data that Google or Microsoft holds on me than handing it over to some random company who, for all anybody knows, has about as much cyber-security knowledge as your average 13 year old.
