It's not uncommon for Google to be accused of violating user privacy. So, anyone in the seat of defending the Web giant's privacy policies has a hard job.
According to Forbes, Google's current privacy director Alma Whitten is stepping down in June after three years on the job. She will be replaced by Google engineering director Lawrence You, who will take the title, "director of privacy for product and engineering."
Whitten worked as a Google engineer for seven years and had a background in privacy and security when she was named privacy director for the company in 2010. She was the first person to fill this position at Google after the company got caught up in a handful of privacy debacles that included Street View cars collecting user e-mails, passwords, and URLs.
