00:00:01.340 --> 00:00:04.570
We built our browser, Google
Chrome, not only to be faster,

00:00:04.570 --> 00:00:07.310
but also to give you control
over the information you

00:00:07.310 --> 00:00:10.580
share while you're online.

00:00:10.580 --> 00:00:13.560
Most online activity takes
place in a browser.

00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.670
So to understand your privacy
on the web, it's important

00:00:16.670 --> 00:00:21.070
to know the basics of what
happens in your browser.

00:00:21.070 --> 00:00:23.380
Let's see what happens when
you use a browser and

00:00:23.380 --> 00:00:26.590
what information is
sent and received.

00:00:26.590 --> 00:00:29.200
When you type a web address
into the browser's address bar

00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:32.950
and hit enter, the browser
sends a request to find the

00:00:32.950 --> 00:00:36.900
computer server that hosts
your requested web page.

00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:40.290
Once the server is located, the
browser requests the web page

00:00:40.290 --> 00:00:43.330
you were looking for and
the server sends it back.

00:00:43.330 --> 00:00:46.250
The browser on your computer
then interprets the web page

00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:48.320
code and displays the page.

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.860
Using Chrome doesn't mean
sharing more information

00:00:50.860 --> 00:00:53.310
with Google than using
any other browser.

00:00:53.310 --> 00:00:56.810
Just as with other browsers,
information is only sent to

00:00:56.810 --> 00:00:59.000
Google servers if you use a
Google service such

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.340
as Search or Gmail.

00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:03.890
Browsers typically maintain a
history of the websites you've

00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:06.590
visited so that you can
access these websites again

00:01:06.590 --> 00:01:08.810
easily in the future.

00:01:08.810 --> 00:01:10.950
Your browser's history
is maintained locally

00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:12.320
on your computer.

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:15.330
In Chrome, none of your history
data is ever shared or sent

00:01:15.330 --> 00:01:17.630
outside of your browser or your
computer without

00:01:17.630 --> 00:01:20.550
your permission.

00:01:20.550 --> 00:01:23.800
You can delete your browser's
history at any time or browse

00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:26.330
in incognito mode if you don't
want website visits and

00:01:26.330 --> 00:01:30.020
downloads to be recorded
in the browser.

00:01:30.020 --> 00:01:32.150
We know that privacy is
important and we're always

00:01:32.150 --> 00:01:34.820
innovating to make sure that
Chrome reflects Google's

00:01:34.820 --> 00:01:38.020
strong privacy standards
and practices.

00:01:38.020 --> 00:01:39.810
Here are some more ways
that Chrome helps

00:01:39.810 --> 00:01:42.360
protect your privacy.

00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:45.220
Text entered into the combined
search and address bar, which

00:01:45.220 --> 00:01:49.140
we call the omnibox, is logged
by Google's servers for only a

00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:52.700
random 2% of omnibox input,
and only if Google is your

00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:54.560
default search provider.

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.620
This data is used to improve
Google's suggestion service

00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:01.430
and is made anonymous
within 24 hours.

00:02:01.430 --> 00:02:05.120
Chrome let's you manage cookies
on a site-by-site basis.

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.630
This means that you can choose
to turn them on only for the

00:02:07.630 --> 00:02:11.160
sites that you trust
and use the most.

00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:13.840
Chrome helps protect you and
your personal information from

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.610
malicious websites through our
Safe Browsing technology.

00:02:17.610 --> 00:02:20.060
And to make sure that Chrome is
always up-to-date with the

00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:23.280
latest security updates, Chrome
automatically checks for

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.390
updates on a regular basis.
