Privacy advocacy group Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the National Security Agency (NSA) seeking details on the agency's purported partnership with Google Inc. on cyber security concerns.

As per the reports, the giant is going to conglomerate with the NSA in its analysis of last December's attempt to install spyware on several company PCs.

EPIC's FOIA request relating to Google was filed after a story in the Washington Post about an impending partnership between Google and the NSA on cyber security issues.

Google first posted its words over the attack in early January, revealing that the attacks had its epicenter in China and were allegedly targeting company systems in an effort to infiltrate Gmail accounts.

However, he deal does not involve extending NSA the power to access Google users' search information or e-mail accounts, and neither will Google be sharing any proprietary data.

"There is particular urgency for the public to obtain information about the relationship between the NSA and Google", EPIC said in its FOIA request. "As of 2009, Gmail had roughly 146 million monthly users, all of whom would be affected by any relationship between the NSA and Google".
