Update to our privacy policy
January 30th, 2009 | Published in Google Public Policy
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.
