Google+ With a Google Apps Account Isn't a Good Idea

Privacy issues will arise if you use Google+ features on your Google Apps account for work or school.

Yesterday, Google started to allow Google Apps users to sign up for Google+. Google Apps accounts can then use all Google+ features. But, if you enable Google+ on your Apps account the Apps account administrator will be able to access and modify all of your Google+ activity.

In the Google Help Center it says:

Because you’re signing up for Google+ with your corporate email address, your Google Apps administrator retains the right to access your Google+ data and modify or delete it at any time.

Translation into simpler English and it says that anything you share (notes, status updates, videos, games, photos, etc) on Google+ can be accessed by the administrator of the Apps account.

Take this as you shouldn’t have your personal Google+ profile on your work Apps account, or if you are going to then think about what you’re posting.

Also, if you mix your Google+ account with your Google Apps account then leave your job, or graduate from the school that gave you the account then you lose access to Google+ on that account.
