Keeping your
private information private
Data plays an important role in making the products and services you use every day more helpful. Strict policies, protocols, and privacy-preserving technologies ensure your data is respected and protected.
Building products that are
private by design for everyone
We never sell your personal information to anyone.
We use data to make Google products helpful in moments that matter — like helping you find a nearby restaurant or a more fuel-efficient route home.
We also use data to serve more relevant ads. While these ads make it possible for us to offer products free of cost for everyone, it’s important to clarify that we never sell your personal information to anyone, including for ad purposes. It’s simply off limits.

We are transparent about what data we collect and why.
We want you to know what data we collect, how we use it, and why. Transparency is important, so we make this information easy to find and understand. This way, you can make informed decisions about how you use Google products.

We make it easy for you to control your personal information.
This means you can easily choose the privacy settings that are right for you and can control the personal information you have shared with Google whenever you want — including reviewing your data, downloading and moving it to another service if you wish, or deleting it entirely.

We reduce the data we use to further protect your privacy.
We never use content you create and store in apps like Drive, Gmail, and Photos for advertising purposes, and we never use sensitive information like health, race, religion, or sexual orientation to tailor ads to you.
We also made auto-delete controls the default when you sign up for a Google Account, so that we regularly delete your online activity data tied to your Google Account, like things you've searched for and watched.

We protect you by building products that are secure by default.
When you use our products, you trust us with your information, and it’s our job to do right by you. That’s why we use one of the most advanced security infrastructures in the world to protect your data.
Our products are designed to be secure by default, and we constantly strengthen our security measures to detect and protect against evolving online threats, like bad actors trying to steal your personal information, before they ever get to you.
