The Google Privacy Policy is the official document detailing how Google collects, uses, manages, shares, and protects your personal information across all its apps, platforms, and devices. It is designed to give you transparency and control over your data while using services like Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, and Android. Information Google Collects

Google gathers data to provide better services, ranging from basic preferences to complex behavioral algorithms:

Things you create or provide: Emails you write, photos and videos you upload, documents you save, and account registration details like your name and password.

Your activity: Search terms, videos you watch, views and interactions with content/ads, purchase history, and Chrome browsing history that you sync.

Apps, browsers, and devices: Unique identifiers, browser type, device settings, operating system, mobile network info, and IP address.

Location info: Your location determined by GPS, IP address, sensor data from your device, and things near your device (like Wi-Fi access points). How Google Uses Your Data

Google uses the collected information to maintain and improve its core services:

Provide and maintain services: Delivering search results or routing directions.

Personalisation: Customising recommendations, search results, and tailored ads.

Ad Restrictions: Google never sells your personal data. It explicitly prohibits using content from Drive, Gmail, or Photos for advertising purposes. It also avoids using sensitive information like health, race, or religion to tailor ads.

Develop new services: Analyzing patterns in existing apps to build new features (e.g., how Google Photos evolved).

Security and abuse prevention: Scanning for spam, malware, or illegal content to keep platforms safe. When Your Information Is Shared

Google does not share your personal information outside of Google except under specific circumstances:

With your consent: Sharing data explicitly authorized by you (e.g., using a Google login for a third-party restaurant app).

With domain administrators: If you use a work or school account, your organization has access to your data.

For external processing: Providing data to trusted affiliates and service providers who process it under Google’s instructions.

For legal reasons: Responding to applicable laws, regulations, or enforceable government requests. Google Privacy Policy
