  • SECURE BY DEFAULT

    Industry-leading security, built right in

    Rising security threats continue to disrupt our everyday lives, from scams in text messages to ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure like hospitals and schools. At Google, we work to protect people and society by staying a step ahead of emerging cyber threats. That’s why our products have built-in protections that make them secure by default. By building innovative AI technology, sharing threat intelligence, and partnering with other cybersecurity experts, we advance global standards that help keep the internet open and secure for everyone.

    PRIVATE BY DESIGN

    Your privacy is personal

    All Google products are private by design, which means upholding responsible data practices — like never selling your personal information to anyone, ever. It’s why we made auto-delete controls and set the default to automatically and continuously delete core activity data after 18 months, rather than keeping it until you choose to delete it. And we’ve pioneered new privacy-preserving technologies like Federated Learning that make it possible to deliver helpful experiences while protecting individual data and privacy.

    SAFER AI

    AI that puts your safety first

    AI safety is woven into every stage of development, starting at the model level where we apply our latest advancements in AI to safety techniques like red teaming — scaling our ability to more effectively identify and address potential risks. As we build new AI capabilities, we combine these AI-powered techniques with human insight. Through testing our newest AI products in real-world scenarios, we’re able to uncover nuances in novel risk areas, which inform the design of new safeguards and solutions that help deliver a safer product experience.
