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.
