SHERMAN, TEXAS - Google will soon know a lot more about you and your activity on the Internet. Its all part of a new privacy policy that is sparking a lot of concerns among users.

Diana Denh and Arthur Yang are avid Google users.
They use the search engine for everything from e-mail to social networking at Austin College.

So you can imagine their surprise when the company announced its plans to roll out a new privacy policy on March 1st.
Here's how it works:
The company will take information from your Google services, including YouTube, Gmail, calendar appointments and even your location. They say this will allow them to tailor ads and enhance your web browsing.
But some users are not too sure.

"The idea that 3rd parties are going to get your information like your address or your name or your number its kind of sketchy," said Denh.

Experts say generally Google won't share private info with third parties unless you opt-into that.
They are simply attempting to personalize your experience.

"Say you're searching for cars and because of your searches on YouTube, you do a lot of searches on green energy, they may present information to your about the top green-rated automobiles," said Bill Edgette, Executive Director Information Technology of Austin College

Last year the Internet giant was in hot water, accused of breaking federal and state wiretap laws. The company admitted it made a mistake and never meant to collect personal data. That's why with this new policy experts warn users to watch the extent of data they share with the company.

"Go to your Google dashboard and look at all your settings there are some settings to clear your history and you can opt to do searches outside of Google," said Edgette.

A privacy watchdog group out of DC is suing the Federal Trade Commission over Google's new policy, they say it's a violation of a settlement reached with the FTC last year.
