Billions of people trust Google. And we feel our responsibility. That is why we have been defending the interests of users for ten years : we are fighting for the release of data, we are working on an open Web project, and we are promoting respect for the freedom of people to be who they want to be.

Therefore, you can choose how to maintain privacy , how to become more open to others, how to communicate with friends, how to work with data, how to share your thoughts with the outside world - in all Google services.
