"
Google does not sell your personal information. Google also does not "share" your personal information as that term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). U.S. state privacy laws also provide the right to request information about how Google collects, uses, and discloses your information. And they give you the right to access your information, sometimes in a portable format; correct your information; and to request that Google delete that information. Many of these laws also provide the right to opt out of certain forms of profiling and targeted advertising.
