The updated Privacy Policy now explicitly discloses how Google handles data under U.S. state privacy laws, particularly California's CCPA. Google states that it does not sell personal information and does not share it as that term is defined under the CCPA. The policy details user rights to access information, request deletion, correct information, and opt out of certain profiling and targeted advertising. Users can exercise these rights through tools like My Activity and My Ad Center, or by contacting Google directly. The policy also provides specific handling of health data under Washington's My Health My Data Act and Nevada Senate Bill 370, where Google processes such information only with user consent or as otherwise permitted by law.
