Particularly Personal Place refers to a category of places that receive special treatment for handling user data. PPPs generally include medical and service facilities, such as
- abortion clinics
- addiction treatment facilities
- cosmetic surgery clinics
- counseling centers
- domestic violence shelters
- fertility centers
- weight loss clinics
The list is not exclusive. To learn more, see Particularly Personal Places .
Google may identify your Google Business Profile (GBP) as a PPP. In most cases, Google Maps designates PPPs automatically, using data from websites, users, and businesses, but can also add sites manually.
To know whether Google categorizes your GBP as a PPP, use locations.get
with the field mask to retrieve the Metadata field, which has the following
structure:
Metadata
{
"hasGoogleUpdated":
boolean,
"hasPendingEdits":
boolean,
"canDelete":
boolean,
"canOperateLocalPost":
boolean,
"canModifyServiceList":
boolean,
"canHaveFoodMenus":
boolean,
"canOperateHealthData":
boolean,
"canOperateLodgingData":
boolean,
"placeId":
string,
"duplicateLocation":
string,
"mapsUri":
string,
"newReviewUri":
string,
"canHaveBusinessCalls":
boolean,
"hasVoiceOfMerchant":
boolean
"isLocationHistoryTemporary":
boolean
}
When the Metadata object field "isLocationHistoryTemporary"
is TRUE
, it
means that Google Maps has categorized the location as a PPP.
You can provide feedback about whether an entity should be classified a PPP by completing the Feedback on Particularly Personal Places form.
