Google will never sell any personal information to third parties: CEO Pichai

Google will never sell any personal information of its users to third parties, CEO Sundar Pichai has said, amidst growing global concern over the misuse of personal data by some social media giants.

In an opinion piece on Tuesday in The New York Times, he also said that privacy cannot be a “luxury good” that is only available to people who can afford to buy premium products and services.

The 46-year-old Indian-origin CEO of Google said he believed that privacy was “one of the most important topics of our time.”

People today are rightly concerned about how their information is used and shared, yet they all define privacy in their own ways, he said.
