Privacy matters

Your privacy is protected by responsible data practices
Data plays an important role in making the products and services you use every day more helpful. We are committed to treating that data responsibly and protecting your privacy with strict protocols and innovative privacy technologies.
Protecting your privacy starts with the world’s most advanced security
Google products are continuously protected by one of the world’s most advanced security infrastructures. This built-in security automatically detects and prevents online threats, so you can be confident your private information is safe.
Strict privacy protocols are followed throughout every product’s development
Privacy is core to how we build our products, with rigorous privacy standards guiding every stage of product development. Each product and feature adheres to these privacy standards, which are implemented through comprehensive privacy reviews.
