We've been tidying up a little, making our privacy
policies and terms more consistent, easier to read,
and easier to understand.
You see, while privacy policies, ours included, may
not be the most popular read on the internet, we think
they're important.
So instead of over 60 policies for different Google products
and features, we're introducing just one with
fewer words, simpler explanations, less legal gloop
to wade through.
That means that when you use Google, from Gmail and Search
to YouTube and Calendar, you can count on one simplified
policy that explains our privacy commitment to you.
The new policy reflects our efforts to create one
beautifully simple experience.
It means that if you're signed in, we'll treat you as a
single user across all of our products, combining
information you've provided from one service with
information from the others.
So you have a better, more intuitive experience from the
moment you sign in to the second you log out, whether
you're sending mail, making meetings,
watching videos, or searching.
Over time, it will mean better Google search results and ads.
We'll understand that when you search for jaguar, you're
looking for a jaguar and not a Jaguar.
It can mean more accurate spelling suggestions because
you've typed a word before.
And it may even mean we'll be able to tell you when you'll
be late for a meeting based on your location, your calendar,
and local traffic conditions.
All of which means we're not just keeping your private
stuff private, we're making it more useful to you in your
daily life, too.
