We believe transparency and choice are the foundations of privacy. We strive to let users know what information we collect when they use our products and services, and give users meaningful choices about what information theyprovide to Google and to others.42 At Google, we are keenly aware of the trust our users place in us, and our responsibility to protect their privacy. We believe transparency and choice are the foundations of privacy. To help you make informed decisions about your own privacy, we work to let you know what information we collect when you use our products and services and how we use that information to improve your service. We also work to give you meaningful choices when possible about the information you provide to Google and to others. 47 43 48 44 ### Why does Google store search engine logs data? 49 45 50 We store this data for a number of reasons, the most important of which are to improve our search results and to maintain the security of our systems. Analyzing logs data is an important tool in helping our engineers refine search quality and build helpful new services. Take the example of Google Spell Checker. Google's spell checking software automatically looks at a user's query and checks to see if that user is using the most common version of the word's spelling. If we calculate thata user is likely to get more relevant search results with an alternative spelling, we'll ask "Did you mean: (more common spelling)?" In order to provide this service, we study the data in our logs. Logs data also helps us improve our search results. If we know that users are clicking on the #1 result, we know we're probably doing something right, and if they're hitting next page or reformulating their query, we're probably doing something wrong. In addition, logs data helps us prevent against fraud and other abuses, like phishing, scripting attacks, and spam, including query click spam and ads click spam.46 We store [ this data ](#toc-terms-server-logs) for a number of reasons. Most importantly, we store data to improve our search results and to maintain the security of our systems. Analyzing logs data helps our engineers both improve your search quality and build helpful innovative services. Take the example of Google Spell Checker. Google's spell checking software automatically looks at a user's query and checks to see if that user is using the most common version of the word's spelling.

We believe anonymizing IP addresses after 9 months and cookies after 18 months strikes the right balance.50 We strike a reasonable balance between the competing pressures we face, such as the privacy of our users, the security of our systems and the need for innovation. We believe anonymizing IP addresses after 9 months and cookies in our search engine logs after 18 months strikes the right balance. 55 51 56 52 ### How can I remove information about myself from Google's search results? 57 53 58 Like all search engines, Google is a reflection of the content and information that is available on the Internet. Search engines do not have the ability to remove content directly from the Internet, so removing content from Google or another search engine would still leave the original content that exists on the Web. The best thing for users who want content removed from the Internet to do is contact the webmaster of the page or the Internet hosting companies hosting the content to find out their content removal policies. Once content has been removed from a website where it appeared and Google's search engine crawl has visited the page again, the information will no longer appear in Google's search results. We do offer tools to help users with [ urgent removal requests ](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=508&topic=8459) .54 Like all search engines, Google is a reflection of the content and information publicly available on the Internet. Search engines do not have the ability to remove content directly from the Internet, so removing content from Google or another search engine would still leave the original content that exists on the Web. If you want to remove something from the Internet, your best bet is to [ contact the webmaster ](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=9109&hl=en) of the site and ask him or her to make a change. Once the content has been removed and Google's search engine crawl has visited the page again, the information will no longer appear in Google's search results. If you have an urgent removal request, you can also visit our help page for [ more information ](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156094&hl=en) . 59 55 60 56 ### Does Google use cookies? 61 57 62 Yes, like most web sites and search engines, Google uses cookies in order to provide services and advertising to our users, and to improve the user experience. Cookies record users' preferences, like whether they want their results in English or French, and if they've selected a safe search filter. Without them, Google wouldn't be able to remember what different people like. Most users don't want to re-set their computers every time they log on. Users who do not want to receive cookies can set their browsers to notify them when cookies are sent, refuse cookies from certain web sites, refuse cookies altogether, or delete cookies from their browser. Google's search engine works without cookies, though a user may lose some functionality if they disable cookies. 58 Yes, like most web sites and search engines, Google uses [ cookies ](#toc-terms-cookie) to improve your experience and to provide services and advertising. Cookies help us keep keep a record of your preferences, like whether you want your search results in English or French, or if you use our SafeSearch filter. Without cookies, Google wouldn't be able to remember what different people like. We also use cookies to provide advertising more relevant to your interests. 59 60 We've been told most users don't want to re-set their computers every time they log on. If you don't want to receive cookies you can change your browsers to notify you when cookies are sent and then refuse cookies from certain web sites (or altogether). You can also delete cookies from your browser. Google's search engine does work without cookies, but you will lose some functionality if you choose to disable cookies. 63 61 64 62 ### What happens when different privacy laws in different countries conflict? … … 66 64 Our privacy policies are drafted to comply with the privacy laws in all the countries where we do business. 67 65 68 ### I have targeted ads on Gmail - is someone actually looking at what I write to match the ads with my emails?69 70 Like most email services, Gmail uses software to scan emails for viruses and to filter out spam. Google uses this same kind of software to scan for keywords in users' emails which we can then use to match ads. The whole process is automated and involves no humans.71 72 ### Where does Google get the images in Google Earth and how does it protect my privacy?73 74 Google Earth uses satellite and aerial imagery to provide users with views of locations around the globe. Google licenses or purchases this imagery from government and private sector providers that make this imagery available commercially. In addition, anyone who flies above or drives by a piece of property will see similar images. The resolution of this imagery does not typically permit the identification of individuals, and the images are not real-time, so they do not capture current activities. There are different laws in different countries about what imagery can and cannot be commercially distributed or published and we respect those laws. Where buildings are blurred on Google Earth - for example the Royal Palace in the Netherlands - this is done by the supplier that provided the images to Google.75 76 ### Street View captures images of people on the street? Is that legal?77 78 Street View only features imagery taken in public locations. This imagery is no different from what any person can readily capture or see walking down the street. While Street View enables people to easily find, discover, and plan activities relevant to a location, we respect the fact that people may not want imagery they feel is objectionable featured on the service. We recently incorporated face-blurring into Street View using state-of-the-art technology. We also provide easily accessible tools for flagging inappropriate or sensitive imagery for blurring or removal. Each Street View imagery bubble contains a link to "Street View Help" where users can report objectionable images. We routinely review these takedown requests and act quickly to remove objectionable imagery.79 80 ### Is privacy possible on social networking sites, like Orkut?81 82 Orkut provides robust sharing controls that allow users to restrict who can view their profile and other information they choose to post. When users create an orkut profile, there is a "golden key" icon that allows users to choose who can view their profile - whether it be friends, family members, friends of friends, or the entire orkut community. Users can change their sharing settings and edit information in their profile at any time.83 84 ### How does Google Health protect the privacy of users' health information?85 86 Our users control access to their health information when they use Google Health. It's up to each user to choose who views or adds information to their Google Health profile, and users can revoke access at any time. We also allow users to view all of the activity on their accounts so they can ensure that only the people and services to whom they've granted access can view their profiles or add information to them. We do not sell user health data and will not share it with others unless our users explicitly authorize us to do so, except in the limited circumstances described in our Privacy Policy, such as when we're required to do so by law.87 88 66 ### How can I contact Google if I have a privacy question or complaint? 89 67 90 If users have any additional questions or concerns they can contact us any time [ through this website ](http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=privacy) . 91 92 People can also write to: Privacy Matters 68 You can contact us any time through our [ privacy contact form ](http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/request.py?contact_type=privacy&hl=en) .

We believe transparency and choice are the foundations of privacy. We strive to let users know what information we collect when they use our products and services, and give users meaningful choices about what information theyprovide to Google and to others.42 At Google, we are keenly aware of the trust our users place in us, and our responsibility to protect their privacy. We believe transparency and choice are the foundations of privacy. To help you make informed decisions about your own privacy, we work to let you know what information we collect when you use our products and services and how we use that information to improve your service. We also work to give you meaningful choices when possible about the information you provide to Google and to others. 47 43 48 44 ### Why does Google store search engine logs data? 49 45 50 We store this data for a number of reasons, the most important of which are to improve our search results and to maintain the security of our systems. Analyzing logs data is an important tool in helping our engineers refine search quality and build helpful new services. Take the example of Google Spell Checker. Google's spell checking software automatically looks at a user's query and checks to see if that user is using the most common version of the word's spelling. If we calculate thata user is likely to get more relevant search results with an alternative spelling, we'll ask "Did you mean: (more common spelling)?" In order to provide this service, we study the data in our logs. Logs data also helps us improve our search results. If we know that users are clicking on the #1 result, we know we're probably doing something right, and if they're hitting next page or reformulating their query, we're probably doing something wrong. In addition, logs data helps us prevent against fraud and other abuses, like phishing, scripting attacks, and spam, including query click spam and ads click spam.46 We store [ this data ](#toc-terms-server-logs) for a number of reasons. Most importantly, we store data to improve our search results and to maintain the security of our systems.

Google's spell checking software automatically looks at a user's query and checks to see if that user is using the most common version of the word's spelling.

We believe anonymizing IP addresses after 9 months and cookies after 18 months strikes the right balance.50 We strike a reasonable balance between the competing pressures we face, such as the privacy of our users, the security of our systems and the need for innovation. We believe anonymizing IP addresses after 9 months and cookies in our search engine logs after 18 months strikes the right balance. 55 51 56 52 ### How can I remove information about myself from Google's search results? 57 53 58 Like all search engines, Google is a reflection of the content and information that is available on the Internet. Search engines do not have the ability to remove content directly from the Internet, so removing content from Google or another search engine would still leave the original content that exists on the Web. The best thing for users who want content removed from the Internet to do is contact the webmaster of the page or the Internet hosting companies hosting the content to find out their content removal policies. Once content has been removed from a website where it appeared and Google's search engine crawl has visited the page again, the information will no longer appear in Google's search results. We do offer tools to help users with [ urgent removal requests ](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=508&topic=8459) .54 Like all search engines, Google is a reflection of the content and information publicly available on the Internet. Search engines do not have the ability to remove content directly from the Internet, so removing content from Google or another search engine would still leave the original content that exists on the Web. If you want to remove something from the Internet, your best bet is to [ contact the webmaster ](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=9109&hl=en) of the site and ask him or her to make a change. Once the content has been removed and Google's search engine crawl has visited the page again, the information will no longer appear in Google's search results. If you have an urgent removal request, you can also visit our help page for [ more information ](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156094&hl=en) . 59 55 60 56 ### Does Google use cookies? 61 57 62 Yes, like most web sites and search engines, Google uses cookies in order to provide services and advertising to our users, and to improve the user experience. Cookies record users' preferences, like whether they want their results in English or French, and if they've selected a safe search filter. Without them, Google wouldn't be able to remember what different people like. Most users don't want to re-set their computers every time they log on. Users who do not want to receive cookies can set their browsers to notify them when cookies are sent, refuse cookies from certain web sites, refuse cookies altogether, or delete cookies from their browser. Google's search engine works without cookies, though a user may lose some functionality if they disable cookies. 58 Yes, like most web sites and search engines, Google uses [ cookies ](#toc-terms-cookie) to improve your experience and to provide services and advertising. Cookies help us keep keep a record of your preferences, like whether you want your search results in English or French, or if you use our SafeSearch filter. Without cookies, Google wouldn't be able to remember what different people like. We also use cookies to provide advertising more relevant to your interests. 59 60 We've been told most users don't want to re-set their computers every time they log on. If you don't want to receive cookies you can change your browsers to notify you when cookies are sent and then refuse cookies from certain web sites (or altogether). You can also delete cookies from your browser. Google's search engine does work without cookies, but you will lose some functionality if you choose to disable cookies. 63 61 64 62 ### What happens when different privacy laws in different countries conflict? … … 66 64 Our privacy policies are drafted to comply with the privacy laws in all the countries where we do business. 67 65 68 ### I have targeted ads on Gmail - is someone actually looking at what I write to match the ads with my emails?69 70 Like most email services, Gmail uses software to scan emails for viruses and to filter out spam. Google uses this same kind of software to scan for keywords in users' emails which we can then use to match ads. The whole process is automated and involves no humans.71 72 ### Where does Google get the images in Google Earth and how does it protect my privacy?73 74 Google Earth uses satellite and aerial imagery to provide users with views of locations around the globe. Google licenses or purchases this imagery from government and private sector providers that make this imagery available commercially. In addition, anyone who flies above or drives by a piece of property will see similar images. The resolution of this imagery does not typically permit the identification of individuals, and the images are not real-time, so they do not capture current activities. There are different laws in different countries about what imagery can and cannot be commercially distributed or published and we respect those laws. Where buildings are blurred on Google Earth - for example the Royal Palace in the Netherlands - this is done by the supplier that provided the images to Google.75 76 ### Street View captures images of people on the street? Is that legal?77 78 Street View only features imagery taken in public locations. This imagery is no different from what any person can readily capture or see walking down the street. While Street View enables people to easily find, discover, and plan activities relevant to a location, we respect the fact that people may not want imagery they feel is objectionable featured on the service. We recently incorporated face-blurring into Street View using state-of-the-art technology. We also provide easily accessible tools for flagging inappropriate or sensitive imagery for blurring or removal. Each Street View imagery bubble contains a link to "Street View Help" where users can report objectionable images. We routinely review these takedown requests and act quickly to remove objectionable imagery.79 80 ### Is privacy possible on social networking sites, like Orkut?81 82 Orkut provides robust sharing controls that allow users to restrict who can view their profile and other information they choose to post. When users create an orkut profile, there is a "golden key" icon that allows users to choose who can view their profile - whether it be friends, family members, friends of friends, or the entire orkut community. Users can change their sharing settings and edit information in their profile at any time.83 84 ### How does Google Health protect the privacy of users' health information?85 86 Our users control access to their health information when they use Google Health. It's up to each user to choose who views or adds information to their Google Health profile, and users can revoke access at any time. We also allow users to view all of the activity on their accounts so they can ensure that only the people and services to whom they've granted access can view their profiles or add information to them. We do not sell user health data and will not share it with others unless our users explicitly authorize us to do so, except in the limited circumstances described in our Privacy Policy, such as when we're required to do so by law.87 88 66 ### How can I contact Google if I have a privacy question or complaint? 89 67 90 If users have any additional questions or concerns they can contact us any time [ through this website ](http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=privacy) . 91 92 People can also write to: Privacy Matters 68 You can contact us any time through our [ privacy contact form ](http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/request.py?contact_type=privacy&hl=en) .

In addition, the following describes privacy practices specific to Google Talk.14 15 ** Personal information **16 17 * _ Account activity. _ You need a Google Account to access Google Talk. Google asks for some personal information when you create a Google Account, including your email address and a password, which is used to protect your account from unauthorized access. A Google Account allows you to access many of our services that require registration.18 When you use Google Talk, we may record information about your usage, such as when you use Google Talk, the size of your contact list and the contacts you communicate with, and the frequency and size of data transfers. Information displayed or clicked on in the Google Talk interface (including UI elements, settings, and other information) is also recorded.19 * _ Content. _ You may choose to store the contents of text chats as Gmail messages in your Gmail account. (See "Your choices," below, for more information.)20 * _ SMS. _ When you send and receive SMS messages to or from Google Talk, we collect and maintain information associated with those messages, such as the phone number, the wireless carrier associated with the phone number, the content of the message, and the date and time of the transaction.21 22 ** Uses **23 24 * We use this information internally to deliver the best possible service to you, such as improving the Google Talk user interface and maintaining a consistent and reliable user experience.25 * On a regular basis, we delete activity information associated with your account.26 * When you use Google Talk, people included in your contact list may be able to see your online presence, username, Gmail address, and any information that you choose to add to your profile, including images, links, and custom status indicators.27 * We may relay content for users in some cases.28 29 ** Your choices **30 31 * You can change your Google Talk account settings at any time in the "Settings" section of Google Talk. You may, for example, modify your online presence status or block particular users through the user interface. For more information about contact lists and online presence, please visit the [ Google Talk Help Center ](http://www.google.com/support/talk) .32 * You can choose whether to store text chats in your Gmail account. During a particular chat, you can go off the record with your conversation. This means that you can prevent the person you are chatting with from automatically storing the chat as a message in his or her Gmail account. This feature does not prevent that person from copying and pasting text chats or otherwise manually recording them. Also, the feature is available only if both you and the other person are using the Google Talk client, Google Talk in Gmail, or a third-party client that enables this feature.33 * You can uninstall the Google Talk software at any time through your computer operating system's uninstall process. You may delete your contacts information or chat histories you have stored in your Gmail account by deleting them through Gmail or by deleting your Gmail account from the [ Google Accounts page ](https://www.google.com/accounts) . Because of the way we maintain this service, such deletion may not be immediate, and residual copies may remain on backup media.34 35 ** More information **36 37 Google adheres to the US Safe Harbor privacy principles.
