“Google said on Wednesday that it plans to alter contract terms that gave the search provider broad rights to use anything entered into its new Chrome browser.
“In order to keep things simple for our users, we try to use the same set of legal terms (our Universal Terms of Service) for many of our products,” Google said in a statement provided to CNET News. “Sometimes, as in the case of Google Chrome, this means that the legal terms for a specific product may include terms that don’t apply well to the use of that product. We are working quickly to remove language from Section 11 of the current Google Chrome terms of service.”“
