In addition, when you create an account, we process your information as described in our
Privacy Policy, including these key points:
Data that we process when you use Google
- When you set up a Google Account, we store information you give us like your name, email address and telephone number.
- When you use Google services to do things such as write a message in Gmail or comment on a YouTube video, we store the information that you create.
- When you search for a restaurant on Google Maps or watch a video on YouTube; for example, we process information about that activity – including information such as the video that you watched, device IDs, IP addresses, cookie data and location.
- We also process the kind of information described above when you use apps or sites that use Google services such as ads, Analytics and the YouTube video player.
Why we process it
We process this data for the purposes described in
our policy, including to:
- Help our services deliver more useful, customised content such as more relevant search results;
- Improve the quality of our services and develop new ones;
- Deliver personalised ads, depending on your account settings, both on Google services and on sites and apps that partner with Google;
- Improve security by protecting against fraud and abuse; and
- Conduct analytics and measurement to understand how our services are used. We also have partners that measure how our services are used. Learn more about these specific advertising and measurement partners.
Combining data
We also combine this data among our services and across your devices for these purposes. For example, depending on your account settings, we show you ads based on information about your interests, which we can derive from your use of Search and YouTube, and we use data from trillions of search queries to build spell-correction models that we use across all of our services.
