Update to our privacy policy

Friday, January 30, 2009 at 2:57 PM ET



We posted a small update to our privacy policy beginning on January 27th. The change lets users know that Google collects limited information about their interaction with our services in order to detect and combat security problems, spam, and fraud. The information collected is used only for these purposes and protects users from misconduct on Google services.

Due to an oversight, we didn't change the "last modified" date at the top of the privacy policy page. We're working quickly to fix this so that our users are informed about the change to our policy. It's important for us to be transparent, so we thank those who brought this to our attention and apologize for the omission.
The comments you read here belong only to the person who posted them. We do, however, reserve the right to remove off-topic comments.

In Google sites, there is a restriction on content to adults. Is there something that is looking at individuals to verify that they are an adult. Is google looking at the google id or using a service to verify age or is it a click through verification with a box?
Thanks.

What exactly is the "limited information" that Google is now collecting on us? Loyal users deserve more details.
