In an effort to better understand the privacy policies he was agreeing to on Google+, Tony Bradley of PC World contacted a Google representative for clarification.  His problems were two fold, with sharing information on games and also with the broad scope of language used in the general terms of service.  His problem with the games policies was that it allowed the game developer access to his information and the people in his “circles”.  He also had issues with the vague terms used to describe the sharing of private information by Google.

Through communication with a Google representative, Bradley gains a better understanding of why Google+ wants to share information with the game developer, mainly to personalize the game and to entice fellow friends to play.  The representative also explains to him that the broad scope of terms allows Google to share the information provided by their users while still covering all legalities.  In the end, although hesitant and still leery of this explanation, he accepts it not only because it is in the Google+ terms of service, but in the general Google terms of service to which he has already agreed.
