We build advanced privacy and security features into every product we make. From automatic security updates in Chrome to phishing protections in Gmail, all Google products are designed for safety.
SEARCH
When you use Google Search, your data is safe. It’s that simple. Your searches are encrypted, your results are protected from web spam and malware, and your personal information is never sold. You can also turn on auto-delete to automatically delete your data on an ongoing basis, or use the intuitive privacy settings to decide what you want to save to your Google Account.
GMAIL
Gmail automatically blocks more than 99.9% of spam, phishing attempts, and malware, before they reach your inbox. For example, more than 120 million phishing attempts are blocked every day. Proactive alerts warn you about risky attachments and suspicious activities. And all your messages are encrypted both at rest and in transit.
CHROME
Browse fearlessly knowing dangerous and deceptive websites, files, and apps are detected and blocked in real time, with the help of Google's AI. Safety Check proactively warns you about potential security issues with your passwords or extensions. You can personalize your privacy with our intuitive Privacy Guide, and easily clear your browsing history and other data. And Chrome continuously makes sure you have the latest security updates.
GEMINI
When you use Gemini, safeguards are in place to help block harmful content. There are also easy-to-use tools to assess the information in Gemini’s responses. You can visit the Privacy Hub anytime to learn about how your data is used or access your privacy settings to change your auto-delete period and more.
PHOTOS
Your photos and videos are safe and secure from the instant you store them, protected by our advanced security infrastructure while in storage or when you share them. You can view and change settings for face groups, choose what to back up, and decide exactly who sees your shared albums. Built-in privacy tools let you manage location data and more.
GOOGLE PAY
Google Pay keeps your information safe using built-in security that protects you with every payment. Breeze through checkout online or in-store with the peace of mind that your payment information is stored securely. Google Pay gives you transparency on how your data is used, has easy-to-use privacy controls, and protects you with advanced security — all to keep your money and private information safe.
PIXEL
So much of your life is on your phone, and Pixel keeps it all safe. The Titan M2 security chip helps protect the things you care about, from your finances to your photos, while built-in safety features help safeguard device access, protect you from fraud during phone calls and messages with Scam Detection1, detect car crashes2, and more. Every Pixel comes with VPN protection3 and 7 years4 of security updates, so you’ll stay safe long after it’s out of the box.
MAPS
Use Maps in Incognito mode and your activity won’t be saved. Turning it on is as simple as tapping your profile photo, and you can turn it back off whenever you want a more personalized experience. You can also use Your Data in Maps to view and adjust your location-data history settings.
YOUTUBE
Watch your favorite content on YouTube, knowing that your personal information will never be sold. Our easy-to-use tools put you in control. With Your data in YouTube, control what data is saved, and how it’s used on the platform and across Google. Browse privately with Incognito mode and adjust your ad settings to see more of what you like, and less of what you don’t.
ANDROID
When you use your Android device, machine learning actively guards against new threats, while built-in safeguards help block harmful apps, phishing attempts, and spam. A simple privacy dashboard puts you in control of how your data is used, and advanced safety features help protect you in the real world — from emergency alerts to crash detection and response.
NEST
You want to trust the things you bring into your home. And we’re committed to earning that trust with devices and services designed to help create a home that takes care of the people inside it and the world around it. Every Nest product is independently validated, automatically updated, and protected by built-in security — all while keeping your sensitive data private.
Google Assistant
Google Assistant is built to keep your information private, safe, and secure. It’s designed to wait in standby mode until it detects an activation, like when it hears “Hey Google.” And by default, your audio recordings are not saved on Google servers.
MEET
You’re safer at every level when you join a Meet video call. Your conversations are encrypted in transit, while smart security features like unique meeting codes and participant verification keep your meetings private. Host management lets you manage who joins and what they can do, while built-in safeguards ensure your meeting data is never tracked or used for advertising.
GOOGLE FI WIRELESS
Google Fi Wireless helps you stay safe while you call, stream, and browse. Your number has an extra layer of protection with Google account security. Plus, every plan includes advanced spam5 blocking that stops unwanted calls, and a VPN6 that encrypts your online activity to shield you from hackers and bad actors.
GOOGLE ONE
With Google One, you get additional storage for your Google Account, so you have even more space for your important photos, videos, files, and more. Expanded storage is protected by the same industry-leading cloud security infrastructure that comes with your Google Account.
Fitbit
How many steps you take, how long you sleep, or anything else you track with your Fitbit — your wellness data is protected by built-in security. You’re in control of your health data with easy-to-find and easy-to-use privacy settings.
