Privacy Policy

What is privacy policy?

Our Privacy Policy explains how we gather, use, and safeguard your personal information while using our services. It ensures transparency and helps you understand your rights and our commitments to data protection.

Things you create or provide to us

When you set up a Google Account, you share personal details such as your name and password. Additionally, you have the option to include a phone number or payment details. Even without signing into a Google Account, you may still provide information, such as an email address, to receive updates or communicate with Google.

We gather the content you create, upload, or receive while using our services. This includes emails you send and receive, photos and videos you store, documents and spreadsheets you generate, and comments you post on YouTube video.

Information we collect as you use our services

We gather data on the apps, browsers, and devices you use to access Google services. This enables us to offer features such as automatic product updates and screen dimming when your battery is low.

The data we collect includes unique identifiers, browser type and settings, device type and configuration, operating system, and mobile network details such as carrier name and phone number. We also gather information on how your apps, browsers, and devices interact with our services, including IP address, crash reports, system activity, and the date, time, and referrer URL of your request.

When you use our services for calls or messaging, we may collect log details such as your phone number, the numbers of the caller and recipient, forwarding numbers, sender and recipient email addresses, call and message timestamps, call duration, routing data, and the types and volumes of calls and messages.

When this policy applies

This Privacy Policy applies to all of the services offered by Google LLC and its affiliates, including YouTube, Android, and services offered on third-party sites, such as advertising services. This Privacy Policy doesn’t apply to services that have separate privacy policies that do not incorporate this Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

We change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We always indicate the date the last changes were published and we offer access to archived versions for your review. If changes are significant, we’ll provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes).
