Does Google keep track of the pages that I am viewing or the books that I read?

To protect copyrighted books, we only allow Google Book Search users to view a limited part of the book. Enforcing these limits requires us to keep track of our users' page views. Before you log in, we do not associate your searches or the pages that you view with any personally identifiable information about you, such as your name and address. Once you log in, however, to enforce limits on user page views, we do connect some information -- your Google Account name -- with the books and pages that you have viewed. As always, we encourage you to read our Privacy Policy to be fully informed about how your confidentiality is protected.
