EFF recommends that you petition for the following privacy protections in conjunction with your use of Google's Books:

"

Protect your reading records from government and third party fishing expeditions by responding only to properly-issued warrants and court orders, and by letting you know if someone has demanded access to information Google has collected about you.

Make sure that you can still browse and read anonymously by not forcing you to register or give personal information and by deleting any logging information for all services after a maximum of 30 days.

Separate data related to Google Book Search from any other information the company collects about you, unless you give it express permission.

Give you the ability to edit and delete any information collected about you, transfer books from one account to another without tracking, and hide your "bookshelves" or other reading lists from others with access to your computer.

Keep Google Book Search information private from third parties like credit card processors, book publishers, and advertisers."
