This video will explain it all. Documentaries with interviews from google employees and some examples of what could and have gone wrong with other companies who have the same policy of saving ALL your information.

Do you have a copy of your own data?

My Personal data is more important than any thing else in the internet.

I use AdBlock Plus, Disconnect.me, No script Firefox Addons and also configure the Firefox Cookie settings to accept only trusted cookies.The only thing that I want to make next is use of Proxy server or Fake IP software to keep completely Anonymous.

Now I am not seeing any advertisements and not even been tracked by any websites.

There's nothing wrong with that. As I webmaster myself I record all kinds of information of the visitor, namely IP-address (which can be used to look up your country, and in some cases your city), browser user agent (for browser version, operating system and stuff), screen resolution, screen colors, javascript, and flash support and a whole lot more. Of course I always send a "tracking cookie" that will identify that particular browser, that way I'll be able to predict how many unique visitors my website has.

Registering this kinds of information is standard on the web, even Battellemedia (this website) is doing it, using Google Analytics.

Notice however that everything that's recorded is regarded as "public information". It's not possible to record your name, home address or anything without your permission. It wouldn't surprise me however if there'll be a browser function in the future that will store this kind of information though...

If you have a website and an ISP that hosts the website, then you also keep information about users (visitors) to your site, and keep their ip addresses in the access logs.

For how many years does YaHoo and AOL and GOOGLE ( etc ) keep logs of internet activity history … and in the case if Instant Messaging, for how long do they keep a record of what you’ve typed in Chat ?

Given that 1/2 of their revenue stream is in danger from botnet programs and that AJAX and FLASH are making their page analysis, Google is in a bad place in the coming 007 year. They are going to want to store as much data as possible.
