Google Terms of Service
Google Terms of Service
Welcome to Google!
1. Your relationship with Google
1.1 Your use of Google’s products, software, services and web sites (referred to collectively as the “Services” in this document and excluding any services provided to you by Google under a separate written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Google. “Google” means Google Inc., whose principal place of business is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. This document explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms of that agreement.
1.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Google, your agreement with Google will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set out in this document. These are referred to below as the “Universal Terms”.
1.3 Your agreement with Google will also include the terms of any Legal Notices applicable to the Services, in addition to the Universal Terms. All of these are referred to below as the “Additional Terms”. Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these will be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of, that Service.
1.4 The Universal Terms, together with the Additional Terms, form a legally binding agreement between you and Google in relation to your use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the “Terms”.
1.5 If there is any contradiction between what the Additional Terms say and what the Universal Terms say, then the Additional Terms shall take precedence in relation to that Service.
2. Accepting the Terms
2.1 In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the Terms. You may not use the Services if you do not accept the Terms.
2.2 You can accept the Terms by:
(A) clicking to accept or agree to the Terms, where this option is made available to you by Google in the user interface for any Service; or
(B) by actually using the Services. In this case, you understand and agree that Google will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of the Terms from that point onwards.
2.3 You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Google, or (b) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.
2.4 Before you continue, you should print off or save a local copy of the Universal Terms for your records.
3. Language of the Terms
3.1 Where Google has provided you with a translation of the English language version of the Terms, then you agree that the translation is provided for your convenience only and that the English language versions of the Terms will govern your relationship with Google.
3.2 If there is any contradiction between what the English language version of the Terms says and what a translation says, then the English language version shall take precedence.
4. Provision of the Services by Google
4.1 Google has subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities around the world (“Subsidiaries and Affiliates”). Sometimes, these companies will be providing the Services to you on behalf of Google itself. You acknowledge and agree that Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be entitled to provide the Services to you.
4.2 Google is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services which Google provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you.
4.3 As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that Google may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at Google’s sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to specifically inform Google when you stop using the Services.
4.4 You acknowledge and agree that if Google disables access to your account, you may be prevented from accessing the Services, your account details or any files or other content which is contained in your account.
4.5 You acknowledge and agree that while Google may not currently have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions you may send or receive through the Services or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of any Service, such fixed upper limits may be set by Google at any time, at Google’s discretion.
5. Use of the Services by you
5.1 In order to access certain Services, you may be required to provide information about yourself (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process for the Service, or as part of your continued use of the Services. You agree that any registration information you give to Google will always be accurate, correct and up to date.
5.2 You agree to use the Services only for purposes that are permitted by (a) the Terms and (b) any applicable law, regulation or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions (including any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from the United States or other relevant countries).
5.3 You agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google. You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services through any automated means (including use of scripts or web crawlers) and shall ensure that you comply with the instructions set out in any robots.txt file present on the Services.
5.4 You agree that you will not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services (or the servers and networks which are connected to the Services).
5.5 Unless you have been specifically permitted to do so in a separate agreement with Google, you agree that you will not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade or resell the Services for any purpose.
5.6 You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under the Terms and for the consequences (including any loss or damage which Google may suffer) of any such breach.
6. Your passwords and account security
6.1 You agree and understand that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with any account you use to access the Services.
6.2 Accordingly, you agree that you will be solely responsible to Google for all activities that occur under your account.
6.3 If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account, you agree to notify Google immediately at http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=58585.
7. Privacy and your personal information
7.1 For information about Google’s data protection practices, please read Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.com/privacy.html. This policy explains how Google treats your personal information, and protects your privacy, when you use the Services.
7.2 You agree to the use of your data in accordance with Google’s privacy policies.
8. Content in the Services
8.1 You understand that all information (such as data files, written text, computer software, music, audio files or other sounds, photographs, videos or other images) which you may have access to as part of, or through your use of, the Services are the sole responsibility of the person from which such content originated. All such information is referred to below as the “Content”.
8.2 You should be aware that Content presented to you as part of the Services, including but not limited to advertisements in the Services and sponsored Content within the Services may be protected by intellectual property rights which are owned by the sponsors or advertisers who provide that Content to Google (or by other persons or companies on their behalf). You may not modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute or create derivative works based on this Content (either in whole or in part) unless you have been specifically told that you may do so by Google or by the owners of that Content, in a separate agreement.
8.3 Google reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, refuse or remove any or all Content from any Service. For some of the Services, Google may provide tools to filter out explicit sexual content. These tools include the SafeSearch preference settings (see http://www.google.com/help/customize.html#safe). In addition, there are commercially available services and software to limit access to material that you may find objectionable.
8.4 You understand that by using the Services you may be exposed to Content that you may find offensive, indecent or objectionable and that, in this respect, you use the Services at your own risk.
8.5 You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any Content that you create, transmit or display while using the Services and for the consequences of your actions (including any loss or damage which Google may suffer) by doing so.
9. Proprietary rights
9.1 You acknowledge and agree that Google (or Google’s licensors) own all legal right, title and interest in and to the Services, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in the Services (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world those rights may exist). You further acknowledge that the Services may contain information which is designated confidential by Google and that you shall not disclose such information without Google’s prior written consent.
9.2 Unless you have agreed otherwise in writing with Google, nothing in the Terms gives you a right to use any of Google’s trade names, trade marks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features.
9.3 If you have been given an explicit right to use any of these brand features in a separate written agreement with Google, then you agree that your use of such features shall be in compliance with that agreement, any applicable provisions of the Terms, and Google's brand feature use guidelines as updated from time to time. These guidelines can be viewed online at http://www.google.com/permissions/guidelines.html (or such other URL as Google may provide for this purpose from time to time).
9.4 Other than the limited license set forth in Section 11, Google acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest from you (or your licensors) under these Terms in or to any Content that you submit, post, transmit or display on, or through, the Services, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in that Content (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world those rights may exist). Unless you have agreed otherwise in writing with Google, you agree that you are responsible for protecting and enforcing those rights and that Google has no obligation to do so on your behalf.
9.5 You agree that you shall not remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary rights notices (including copyright and trade mark notices) which may be affixed to or contained within the Services.
9.6 Unless you have been expressly authorized to do so in writing by Google, you agree that in using the Services, you will not use any trade mark, service mark, trade name, logo of any company or organization in a way that is likely or intended to cause confusion about the owner or authorized user of such marks, names or logos.
10. License from Google
10.1 Google gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive licence to use the software provided to you by Google as part of the Services as provided to you by Google (referred to as the “Software” below). This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services as provided by Google, in the manner permitted by the Terms.
10.2 You may not (and you may not permit anyone else to) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Software or any part thereof, unless this is expressly permitted or required by law, or unless you have been specifically told that you may do so by Google, in writing.
10.3 Unless Google has given you specific written permission to do so, you may not assign (or grant a sub-licence of) your rights to use the Software, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the Software, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights to use the Software.
11. Content licence from you
11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services.
11.2 You agree that this licence includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services.
11.3 You understand that Google, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users, may (a) transmit or distribute your Content over various public networks and in various media; and (b) make such changes to your Content as are necessary to conform and adapt that Content to the technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, services or media. You agree that this licence shall permit Google to take these actions.
11.4 You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above licence.
12. Software updates
12.1 The Software which you use may automatically download and install updates from time to time from Google. These updates are designed to improve, enhance and further develop the Services and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely new versions. You agree to receive such updates (and permit Google to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the Services.
13. Ending your relationship with Google
13.1 The Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either you or Google as set out below.
13.2 If you want to terminate your legal agreement with Google, you may do so by (a) notifying Google at any time and (b) closing your accounts for all of the Services which you use, where Google has made this option available to you. Your notice should be sent, in writing, to Google’s address which is set out at the beginning of these Terms.
13.3 Google may at any time, terminate its legal agreement with you if:
(A) you have breached any provision of the Terms (or have acted in manner which clearly shows that you do not intend to, or are unable to comply with the provisions of the Terms); or
(B) Google is required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of the Services to you is, or becomes, unlawful); or
(C) the partner with whom Google offered the Services to you has terminated its relationship with Google or ceased to offer the Services to you; or
(D) Google is transitioning to no longer providing the Services to users in the country in which you are resident or from which you use the service; or
(E) the provision of the Services to you by Google is, in Google’s opinion, no longer commercially viable.
13.4 Nothing in this Section shall affect Google’s rights regarding provision of Services under Section 4 of the Terms.
13.5 When these Terms come to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations and liabilities that you and Google have benefited from, been subject to (or which have accrued over time whilst the Terms have been in force) or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of paragraph 20.7 shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations and liabilities indefinitely.
14. EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES
14.1 NOTHING IN THESE TERMS, INCLUDING SECTIONS 14 AND 15, SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT GOOGLE’S WARRANTY OR LIABILITY FOR LOSSES WHICH MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR BREACH OF IMPLIED TERMS, OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, ONLY THE LIMITATIONS WHICH ARE LAWFUL IN YOUR JURISDICTION WILL APPLY TO YOU AND OUR LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
14.2 YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND “AS AVAILABLE.”
14.3 IN PARTICULAR, GOOGLE, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND ITS LICENSORS DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT TO YOU THAT:
(A) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS,
(B) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR FREE FROM ERROR,
(C) ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, AND
(D) THAT DEFECTS IN THE OPERATION OR FUNCTIONALITY OF ANY SOFTWARE PROVIDED TO YOU AS PART OF THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED.
14.4 ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR OTHER DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL.
14.5 NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM GOOGLE OR THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE TERMS.
14.6 GOOGLE FURTHER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

(A) ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY.. THIS SHALL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, ANY LOSS OF PROFIT (WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY), ANY LOSS OF GOODWILL OR BUSINESS REPUTATION, ANY LOSS OF DATA SUFFERED, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS;
(B) ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OR DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF:
(I) ANY RELIANCE PLACED BY YOU ON THE COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY ADVERTISING, OR AS A RESULT OF ANY RELATIONSHIP OR TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY ADVERTISER OR SPONSOR WHOSE ADVERTISING APPEARS ON THE SERVICES;
(II) ANY CHANGES WHICH GOOGLE MAY MAKE TO THE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY PERMANENT OR TEMPORARY CESSATION IN THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES (OR ANY FEATURES WITHIN THE SERVICES);
(III) THE DELETION OF, CORRUPTION OF, OR FAILURE TO STORE, ANY CONTENT AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS DATA MAINTAINED OR TRANSMITTED BY OR THROUGH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES;
(III) YOUR FAILURE TO PROVIDE GOOGLE WITH ACCURATE ACCOUNT INFORMATION;
(IV) YOUR FAILURE TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT DETAILS SECURE AND CONFIDENTIAL;
15.2 THE LIMITATIONS ON GOOGLE’S LIABILITY TO YOU IN PARAGRAPH 15.1 ABOVE SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT GOOGLE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES ARISING.
16. Copyright and trade mark policies
16.1 It is Google’s policy to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable international intellectual property law (including, in the United States, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and to terminating the accounts of repeat infringers. Details of Google’s policy can be found at http://www.google.com/dmca.html.
16.2 Google operates a trade mark complaints procedure in respect of Google’s advertising business, details of which can be found at http://www.google.com/tm_complaint.html.
17. Advertisements
17.1 Some of the Services are supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions. These advertisements may be targeted to the content of information stored on the Services, queries made through the Services or other information.
17.2 The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Google on the Services are subject to change without specific notice to you.
17.3 In consideration for Google granting you access to and use of the Services, you agree that Google may place such advertising on the Services.
18. Other content
18.1 The Services may include hyperlinks to other web sites or content or resources. Google may have no control over any web sites or resources which are provided by companies or persons other than Google.
18.2 You acknowledge and agree that Google is not responsible for the availability of any such external sites or resources, and does not endorse any advertising, products or other materials on or available from such web sites or resources.
18.3 You acknowledge and agree that Google is not liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred by you as a result of the availability of those external sites or resources, or as a result of any reliance placed by you on the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, products or other materials on, or available from, such web sites or resources.
19. Changes to the Terms
19.1 Google may make changes to the Universal Terms or Additional Terms from time to time. When these changes are made, Google will make a new copy of the Universal Terms available at http://www.google.com/accounts/TOS?hl=en and any new Additional Terms will be made available to you from within, or through, the affected Services.
19.2 You understand and agree that if you use the Services after the date on which the Universal Terms or Additional Terms have changed, Google will treat your use as acceptance of the updated Universal Terms or Additional Terms.
20. General legal terms
20.1 Sometimes when you use the Services, you may (as a result of, or through your use of the Services) use a service or download a piece of software, or purchase goods, which are provided by another person or company. Your use of these other services, software or goods may be subject to separate terms between you and the company or person concerned. If so, the Terms do not affect your legal relationship with these other companies or individuals.
20.2 The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and Google and govern your use of the Services (but excluding any services which Google may provide to you under a separate written agreement), and completely replace any prior agreements between you and Google in relation to the Services.
20.3 You agree that Google may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Services.
20.4 You agree that if Google does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Google has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Google’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Google.
20.5 If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.
20.6 You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies of which Google is the parent shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms and that such other companies shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of the Terms which confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. Other than this, no other person or company shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms.
20.7 The Terms, and your relationship with Google under the Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You and Google agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Santa Clara, California to resolve any legal matter arising from the Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Google shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

Gmail: Google's approach to email
Gmail Privacy Notice
September 12, 2008
The Google Privacy
Policy describes how we treat personal information when you use
Google's products and services, including information provided when
you use Gmail. In addition, the following describes our privacy
practices that are specific to Gmail.
Personal information
-
You need a
Google Account to access Gmail. Google asks for some
personal information when you create a Google Account, including
your alternate contact information 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. -
Gmail stores, processes and maintains your messages, contact
lists and other data related to your account in order to provide
the service to you. -
When you use Gmail, Google's servers automatically record
certain information about your use of Gmail. Similar to other
web services, Google records information such as account
activity (including storage usage, number of log-ins), data
displayed or clicked on (including UI elements, ads, links); and
other
log information (including browser type, IP-address, date
and time of access, cookie ID, and referrer URL).
Uses
-
Google maintains and processes your Gmail account and its
contents to provide the Gmail service to you and to improve our
services. The Gmail service includes relevant advertising and
related links based on the IP address, content of messages and
other information related to your use of Gmail. -
Google's computers process the information in your messages for
various purposes, including formatting and displaying the
information to you, delivering advertisements and related links,
preventing unsolicited bulk email (spam), backing up your
messages, and other purposes relating to offering you Gmail. -
Google may send you information related to your Gmail account or
other Google services.
Information sharing and onward transfer
-
When you send email, Google includes information such as your
email address and the email itself as part of that email. -
We provide advertisers only aggregated non-personal information
such as the number of times one of their ads was clicked. We do
not sell, rent or otherwise share your personal information with
any third parties except in the limited circumstances described
in the Google
Privacy Policy, such as when we believe we are required to
do so by law.
Your choices
-
You may change your Gmail account settings through the Gmail
"settings" section. -
You may organize or delete your messages through your Gmail
account or terminate your account through the Google Account
section of Gmail settings. Such deletions or terminations will
take immediate effect in your account view. Residual copies of
deleted messages and accounts may take up to 60 days to be
deleted from our active servers and may remain in our offline
backup systems. -
You may choose to use additional Gmail features, such as chat,
which connects to the Google Talk network. The Google Talk
service has its own privacy notice available
here.
More information
Google adheres to the US Safe Harbor privacy principles. For more
information about the Safe Harbor framework or our registration, see
the Department of
Commerce's web site.
Further information about Gmail is available
here.

policy. For questions concerning the product or your account,

Help page.

سياسة الخصوصية
آخر تعديل: 11 آذار (مارس) 2009 (عرض
الإصدارات المؤرشفة)
نحن في Google ندرك أهمية الخصوصية. تسري سياسة الخصوصية هذه على جميع
المنتجات والخدمات ومواقع الويب
التي تقدمها شركة Google Inc. أو إحدى شركاتها التابعة باستثناء
DoubleClick ( سياسة خصوصية
DoubleClick) وPostini (
سياسة خصوصية Postini)؛ ويُشار إليها إجمالاً بـ "خدمات" Google. علاوة
على هذا، ومتى دعت الحاجة إلى المزيد من المعلومات التفصيلية لشرح ممارستنا
بشأن الخصوصية، نعمل على نشر إشعارات خصوصية إضافية بهدف وصف كيفية معالجة
خدمات معينة
للمعلومات الشخصية. ويمكن الاطلاع على هذه الإشعارات في
مركز خصوصية Google.
تلتزم شركة Google بمبادئ الخصوصية التي ينص عليها قانون السلامة
الأمريكي (Safe Harbor) والمعني بالإشعار وسلامة الاختيار ونقل المعلومات
لأطراف أخرى والأمان وسلامة البيانات والدخول إلى المعلومات والتنفيذ وهي
مسجلة في
برنامج السلامة التابع لوزارة التجارة الأمريكية.

المعلومات التي نجمعها وكيفية استخدامها
نقدم عددًا من الخدمات التي لا تتطلب منك تسجيل حساب أو تقديم أية
معلومات شخصية لنا، مثل بحث Google. ولكننا قد نجمع الأنواع التالية من
المعلومات بهدف تقديم مجموعة الخدمات الكاملة:
- المعلومات التي تقدمها – عند اشتراكك في
حساب Google أو ترويج أو أية خدمة أخرى من خدمات Google التي تتطلب
التسجيل، نطلب منك معلومات شخصية (مثل الاسم وعنوان البريد الإلكتروني
وكلمة مرور الحساب). كما نطلب أيضًا، بالنسبة إلى بعض الخدمات، مثل
البرامج الإعلانية، معلومات البطاقة الائتمانية أو أي حساب سداد آخر
حيث نحتفظ بها في نموذج مشفر على خوادم آمنة. هذا ويجوز لنا جمع
المعلومات التي ترسلها ضمن حسابك مع معلومات مأخوذة من خدمات Google
أخرى أو أطراف أخرى وذلك لتوفير تجربة أفضل بالنسبة إليك وتحسين جودة
خدماتنا. وبالنسبة إلى بعض الخدمات، قد يحق لك رفض جمع مثل هذه
المعلومات.
- ملفات تعريف الارتباط – عند زيارتك لموقع Google،
نرسل ملفًا أو أكثر من ملفات تعريف الارتباط – وهو ملف صغير يحتوي على
سلسلة من الأحرف – إلى جهاز الكمبيوتر أو أي جهاز آخر يُعرّف متصفحك
بشكل فريد. ونستخدم ملفات تعريف الارتباط لرفع مستوى جودة الخدمة التي
نقدمها، بما في ذلك تخزين تفضيلات المستخدمين وتحسين نتائج البحث
واختيار الإعلانات وتتبع اتجاهات المستخدمين، مثل كيفية إجرائهم للبحث.
كما تستخدم Google ملفات تعريف الارتباط في خدماتها الإعلانية لمساعدة
المعلنين والناشرين في تقديم الإعلانات وإدارتها عبر الويب. ويجوز لنا
تعيين ملف تعريف ارتباط واحد أو أكثر في متصفحك عند زيارتك لأحد مواقع
الويب، بما في ذلك مواقع Google التي تستخدم ملفات تعريف الارتباط
الإعلانية، وعند عرض أو النقر على أحد الإعلانات التي تعمل بموجب خدمات
Google الإعلانية.
- معلومات السجل – عند دخولك إلى خدمات Google،
تسجل خوادمنا تلقائيًا المعلومات التي يرسلها متصفحك كلما زرت أحد
مواقع الويب. قد تتضمن
سجلات الخادم هذه معلومات مثل طلب الويب وعنوان بروتوكول الإنترنت
ونوع المتصفح ولغته وتاريخ الطلب ووقته فضلاً عن ملف تعريف ارتباط واحد
أو أكثر من الملفات التي تُعرّف متصفحك بشكل فريد.
- اتصالات المستخدم – عند إرسالك بريدًا إلكترونيًا
أو غير ذلك من الاتصالات إلى Google، يجوز لنا الاحتفاظ بهذه الاتصالات
بغرض معالجة استفساراتك والاستجابة لطلباتك إلى جانب تحسين خدماتنا.
- خدمات Google التابعة على المواقع الأخرى – نقدم
بعض خدماتنا على مواقع الويب الأخرى أو من خلالها. لذا فقد يتم إرسال
المعلومات الشخصية التي تقدمها لهذه المواقع إلى Google، وذلك بهدف
تقديم الخدمة. ونحن نعالج مثل هذه المعلومات بموجب سياسة الخصوصية هذه.
قد يكون للمواقع التابعة التي نقدم خدماتنا من خلالها ممارسات خصوصية
مختلفة، لذا ننصح بقراءة سياسات الخصوصية بهذه المواقع.
- الأدوات – يجوز لشركة Google إتاحة تطبيقات
خارجية عبر خدماتها. وتتم معالجة المعلومات التي تجمعها Google عند
قيامك بتمكين أداة أو تطبيق آخر، وذلك بموجب سياسة الخصوصية هذه. كما
أن المعلومات التي يتم جمعها من قِبل موفر التطبيق أو الأداة محكومة
بسياسات خصوصية ذلك الموفر.
- بيانات الموقع – تقدم Google خدمات تستند إلى
الموقع مثل خرائط Google للجوال. وفي حال استخدامك لهذه الخدمات، يجوز
لشركة Google تلقي معلومات بشأن موقعك الفعلي (مثل إشارات GPS التي
يرسلها الجهاز المحمول) أو المعلومات التي يمكن استخدامها لتقريب موقع
(مثل معِّرف الجهاز المحمول).
- الروابط – يجوز لشركة Google تقديم روابط بتنسيق
يسمح لنا بمراقبة ما إذا كان قد تم اتباع هذه الروابط أم لا. ونستخدم
هذه المعلومات لتحسين جودة تقنية البحث والمحتوى المخصص والإعلانات.
تفضل بقراءة مزيد من المعلومات عن
الروابط وعناوين URL المُعاد توجيهها.
- المواقع الأخرى – تسري سياسة الخصوصية هذه على
خدمات Google فقط. ولا نتحكم في المواقع التي يتم عرضها كنتائج بحث أو
المواقع التي تتضمن تطبيقات أو منتجات أو خدمات Google أو الروابط
الموجودة في خدماتنا المتنوعة. وقد تضع هذه المواقع الأخرى ملفات تعريف
ارتباطاتها أو ملفات أخرى على جهاز الكمبيوتر أو تجمع بيانات أو تطلب
منك معلومات شخصية.
تتم معالجة المعلومات الشخصية من قِبل Google فقط للأغراض الواردة في
سياسة الخصوصية هذه و/أو إشعارات الخصوصية الإضافية الخاصة بخدمات معينة.
وبالإضافة إلي ما سبق، تشمل هذه الأغراض ما يلي:
- تقديم خدماتنا بما في ذلك عرض المحتوى المخصص والإعلانات؛
- المراجعة والبحث والتحليل بهدف استمرار خدماتنا وحمايتها وتحسين
مستواها؛
- ضمان أداء شبكتنا لوظائفها من الناحية الفنية؛
- حماية حقوق أو ملكية Google أو مستخدمينا؛ و
- تطوير خدمات جديدة.
يمكنك الاطلاع على مزيد من المعلومات حول كيفية معالجتنا للمعلومات
الشخصية بالرجوع إلى إشعارات الخصوصية الإضافية للخدمات المحددة.
تتم معالجة المعلومات الشخصية من قِبل Google على خوادمها داخل الولايات
المتحدة الأمريكية وفي الدول الأخرى. وفي بعض الحالات، تجري معالجة هذه
المعلومات الشخصية على خادم يقع خارج البلد الذي تقيم فيه. ويجوز لنا
معالجة المعلومات الشخصية بغرض تقديم خدماتنا. وفي بعض الحالات، قد نقوم
بمعالجة المعلومات الشخصية نيابةً عن جهة أخرى ووفقًا لتعليماتها، مثل
شركائنا في مجال الإعلان.
خيارات المعلومات الشخصية
عند اشتراكك في خدمة معينة تتطلب التسجيل، فإننا نطلب منك تقديم معلومات
شخصية. وفي حال استخدامنا لهذه المعلومات في ما يخالف الغرض الذي جمعت من
أجله، فإننا نطلب منك الموافقة على ذلك قبل الشروع في الاستخدام.
وإذا اعتزمنا استخدام المعلومات الشخصية لأية أغراض بخلاف تلك الموضحة
في سياسة الخصوصية و/أو إشعارات الخصوصية لخدمات معينة، فسنتيح لك طريقة
فعالة لرفض استخدام المعلومات الشخصية في تلك الأغراض الأخرى. ولن نجمع
المعلومات الحساسة أو نستخدمها في أغراض غير تلك الموضحة في سياسة
الخصوصية هذه و/أو إشعارات الخصوصية التكميلية للخدمات، ما لم نحصل على
موافقة مسبقة منك.
يتم إعداد معظم المتصفحات بصورة مبدئية بحيث تقبل ملفات تعريف الارتباط،
إلا أنه يمكنك إعادة ضبط المتصفح بحيث يرفض جميع ملفات تعريف الارتباط أو
يقدم إشارة عند إرسال أحدها. ومع ذلك، قد يتعذر تشغيل بعض ميزات وخدمات
Google على النحو المرجو إذا كانت ملفات تعريف الارتباط معطلة.
تستخدم Google
ملف
تعريف ارتباط إعلانات DoubleClick على مواقع AdSense الشريكة وبعض
خدمات Google لمساعدة المعلنين والناشرين على تقديم الإعلانات وإدارتها عبر
الإنترنت. ويمكنك عرض إعدادات الإعلانات المفضلة المرتبطة بملف تعريف
الارتباط هذا وتعديلها وإدارتها من خلال الدخول إلى
إدارة إعدادات الإعلانات
المفضلة. علاوة على هذا، يمكنك اختيار استبعاد ملف تعريف ارتباط
DoubleClick في أي وقت باستخدام
استبعاد ملف
تعريف ارتباط DoubleClick.
يمكنك رفض إرسال معلومات شخصية لأي من خدماتنا التي قد يتعذر على Google
توفيرها لك.
مشاركة المعلومات
لن تفصح Google عن المعلومات الشخصية لشركات أخرى أو أفراد آخرين خارج
Google إلا في الحالات المحددة التالية:
- الحصول على موافقتك. حيث نشترط موافقتك على المشاركة قبل الإفصاح
عن أية معلومات شخصية حساسة.
- نحن نقدم هذه المعلومات إلى الشركات الفرعية أو الشركات التابعة
لنا أو غيرها من الشركات أو الأشخاص محل الثقة بغرض معالجة المعلومات
الشخصية نيابة عنا. ونشترط على هذه الأطراف الموافقة على معالجة هذه
المعلومات بناءً على تعليماتنا ووفقًا لسياسة الخصوصية هذه وغيرها من
التدابير الأمنية وإجراءات السرية المناسبة.
- لدينا اعتقاد راسخ حسن النية بأن الوصول إلى هذه المعلومات أو
استخدامها أو الاحتفاظ بها أو إفشاءها يصبح لازمًا بقدر معقول إذا كان
بغرض (أ) الامتثال لأي قانون معمول به أو أية لائحة أو إجراء قانوني أو
مطلب حكومي واجب التنفيذ أو (ب) تنفيذ بنود الخدمة السارية بما في ذلك
التحقيق في أية انتهاكات محتملة لها أو (ج) اكتشاف مشكلات الاحتيال أو
المشكلات الأمنية أو الفنية أو منعها أو مواجهتها بأية طريقة أخرى أو
(د) الحماية من أي ضرر قد يلحق بحقوق أو ملكيات أو سلامة Google أو
مستخدميها أو عامة الناس طبقًا لما يقتضيه القانون أو يسمح به.
في حالة دخول Google في عملية دمج أو ضم ملكية أو أي شكل من أشكال البيع
لبعض أو كل أصولها، فإننا نضمن سرية أية معلومات شخصية تدخل في هذه
المعاملات، كما سنرسل إشعارًا قبل نقل هذه المعلومات الشخصية وخضوعها
لسياسة خصوصية مختلفة.
يجوز لنا الإفصاح لأطراف خارجية عن بعض
المعلومات غير الشخصية المجمعة مثل عدد المستخدمين الذين أجروا عمليات
بحث عن مصطلح معين على سبيل المثال أو عدد المستخدمين الذين نقروا على
إعلان محدد. فمثل هذه المعلومات لا تحدد هويتك الشخصية.
يُرجى الاتصال بنا على العنوان أدناه لأية استفسارات أخرى حول إدارة
البيانات الشخصية أو استخدامها.
أمن المعلومات
نحن نتخذ تدابير أمنية مناسبة للحماية من الوصول غير المرخص إلى
البيانات أو التعديل غير المرخص فيها أو إفشائها أو إتلافها. ومن بين هذه
التدابير المراجعات الداخلية لجمع البيانات وممارسات التخزين والمعالجة
والتدابير الأمنية فضلاً عن التدابير الأمنية المادية للحماية من الوصول
غير المرخص إلى الأنظمة التي تخرن فيها البيانات الشخصية.
ويقتصر الوصول إلى المعلومات الشخصية على موظفي Google والمتعاقدين معها
ووكلائها الذين يحتاجون إلى معرفة هذه المعلومات لتشغيل خدماتنا أو تطورها
أو تحسينها. ويتقيد هؤلاء الأفراد بالتزامات السرية وقد يخضعون لإجراءات
تأديبية تشمل إنهاء التعاقد والمحاكمة الجنائية، في حال إخفاقهم في الوفاء
بهذه الالتزامات.
سلامة البيانات
تعالج Google المعلومات الشخصية للأغراض التي جُمعت من أجلها فقط ووفقًا
لسياسة الخصوصية هذه أو أي إشعار خصوصية سارٍ على خدمة معينة. وتتم مراجعة
ممارسات جمع البيانات وتخزينها ومعالجتها لضمان جمع وتخزين ومعالجة
المعلومات الشخصية اللازمة فقط لتقديم الخدمات أو تحسينها، أو غير ذلك من
ما تقضي به هذه السياسة. كما نتخذ خطوات محسوبة لضمان دقة واكتمال وحداثة
المعلومات الشخصية الخاضعة للمراجعة، إلا أننا نعتمد على مستخدمينا في
موافاتنا بأحدث معلوماتهم الشخصية أو تصحيحها كلما لزم الأمر.
الوصول إلى المعلومات الشخصية وتحديثها
إننا نبذل جهودًا صادقة وحسنة النية عند استخدامك خدمات Google كي تتمكن
من الوصول إلى معلوماتك الشخصية إما لتصحيحها إذا كانت غير دقيقة أو لحذفها
بناءً على طلبك، إن لم يقض القانون بالاحتفاظ بها أو تكون مطلوبة لأغراض
تجارية قانونية. كما نطلب من المستخدمين الأفراد تعريف أنفسهم وتحديد
المعلومات المطلوب الوصول إليها أو تصحيحها أو إزالتها قبل التعامل مع هذه
الطلبات، وقد نرفض تلبية الطلبات المنهجية أو المتكررة دون سبب وجيه، أو
تلك التي تتطلب جهدًا فنيًا غير معتاد أو التي تهدد خصوصية الآخرين أو
الطلبات غير العملية على الإطلاق (مثل طلب المعلومات المخزنة على الشرائط
الاحتياطية) أو تلك الطلبات التي لا يلزم الوصول إلى المعلومات للوفاء بها.
ونحن نقدم خدمة الوصول إلى المعلومات وتصحيحها مجانًا في جميع الحالات، إلا
إذا استلزم توفيرها جهدًا غير معتاد. وتتبع بعض خدماتنا إجراءات مختلفة
للوصول إلى معلومات المستخدمين الشخصية أو تصحيحها أو حذفها. ونورد تفاصيل
هذه الإجراءات في إشعارات الخصوصية لهذه الخدمات أو الأسئلة الشائعة التي
تدور حولها.
