RE: Security issue in privacy settings of the "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum"

Hello,

This was escalated to me.

I am looking into whether there are any setting differences between this forum 
and the scripts forum. I will let you know what I find out.

Regards,
Mike, Google Ads API Team

As I can see, you are still distributing all of your contributors Google 
Account Login addresses (including mine without my permission) to anyone 
who subscribes to the daily digest of this forum.
If you are not willing or able to fix this privacy violation, you probably 
should not offer this service in Europe:

Re: Security issue in privacy settings of the "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum"

Hi Jon,

sadly, you are missing the point.

*My *settings are the same in both forums. And as you can clearly see in 
this thread, I've set a display name. It's "Mat". 

The point is, that in the "Abridged summary of 
adwords-api@googlegroups.com" daily email of this forum the email addresses 
of *all* contributors are published - *next to* their display name (as you 
can see in the screenshot I've provided), while in the "Abridged summary of 
adwords-scri...@googlegroups.com" daily email of the Google Ads Script 
forum, there are no email addresses published at all but *only* the display 
names. And the latter is the way it should be.

And as you can see in your answer to my last post, my email address shows 
up in your posting, almost non obfuscated. And that too is not the case in 
the Google Ads Script forum and a security and privacy violation by itself.

Would you mind escalating this topic to someone with a better understanding 
of privicy and security matters?

Regards
Mat

Hi Mat, thanks for replying with the screenshots.
I think what you're seeing is the difference between a group member who has set 
a display name in their personal group settings, and one who has not. If you'd 
like your email to be hidden from email summaries, please feel free to set a 
display name. Otherwise, the groups are configured the same way. Thanks for 
bringing this concern to our attention.

Jon

Hey Mat,
Can you post a screenshot of what you're talking about? We didn't find any 
major discrepancies between the Ad Sense forum and the Ads API forum. Thanks.

Security issue in privacy settings of the "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum"

2019-06-13 Thread Mat
Is it intended that the login email addresses of all contributors are 
published in the "Abridged summary"?

Similarly, poorly obfuscated email addresses of contributors appear here in 
the forum in responses from members of the Google Ads API Team.

I think both are security issues that should be fixed.

BTW: in the Google Ads Script Forum this is not the case. If in doubt, ask 
the admin there how to set it correctly ;-)

Regards
Mat
