The confirmation comes after Google refused to comment.

A collection of 2,500 leaked internal documents from Google filled with details about data the company collects is authentic, the company confirmed today. Until now, Google had refused to comment on the materials.

The documents in question detail data that Google is keeping track of, some of which may be used in its closely guarded search ranking algorithm. The documents offer an unprecedented — though still murky — look under the hood of one of the most consequential systems shaping the web

Where are these docs? No one ever links to them or says where you can find them

Thousands of documents, which appear to come from Google’s internal Content API Warehouse, were released March 13 on Github by an automated bot called yoshi-code-bot.

They were leaked specifically to “SEO experts” who shared portions of it. I don’t know if it was leaked publicly.

I’m basically what happened is the leaker is an SEO guy, that runs an SEO company, and leaked the documents to another SEO guy.

Now it would be bloody awesome if someone would leak how their data collection in Android works and how much of their privacy policy is actually not just for good PR.
