2.0 GOOGLE PRIVACY POLICY DOCUMENT

2.0.1 Information collection and use

Google collects information to provide better services to all of its users – from figuring out basic stuff like which language one speaks, to more complex things like which ads one will find most useful or the people who matter most to you online.

Google collects information in two ways:

• Information you give it. For example, many of their services require you to sign up for a Google Account. When you do, they will ask for personal information, like your name, email address, telephone number or credit card. If you want to take full advantage of the sharing features they offer, they might also ask you to create a publicly visible Google Profile, which may include your name and photo.

• Information it gets from your use of their services. Google may collect information about the services that you use and how you use them, like when you visit a website that uses their advertising services or you view and interact with their ads and content. This information includes:

o Device information

Google may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number). Google may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your Google Account.

o Log information

When you use Google services or view content provided by Google, it may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs. This may include:

▪ Details of how you used Google service, such as your search queries.

▪ Telephony log...
