Sharing Data with Third Parties

High severity

What it is

We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Google except in the following cases: With your consent. With domain administrators. For external processing. For legal reasons. We may share non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners — like publishers, advertisers, developers, or rights holders.

Why it matters

Even data described as 'non-personally identifiable' can often be re-identified when combined with other data sources, and Google's broad sharing with advertising partners means your behavioral data effectively reaches hundreds of third parties through its advertising ecosystem.

Consumer impact

Google collects a wide range of personal data including location history, search queries, emails (for feature delivery), browsing activity on third-party sites via Google's ad network, voice and audio data, and device identifiers, combining these across all Google services to build detailed user profiles. This cross-service data combination powers Google's advertising business and means your activity on one Google product can influence what you see on entirely different products and third-party websites. You can review and delete your data, turn off ad personalization, and manage location history at myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy.
