Making technology for everyone means protecting everyone who uses it. For 20 years, Google has been building useful products to help make people’s lives easier. From the beginning, we’ve always known that when people use our services, they’re trusting us with their information and it’s our job to protect it.
Today, we started rolling out a newly expanded Google Safety Center. We’ve updated our resources and pulled even more information into one site dedicated to educating and empowering people on important topics like data security, privacy controls, and online protections for all of our users. The site will be available in more than 65 languages in the coming weeks.
Making technology for everyone also means protecting everyone who uses it, and therefore the newly expanded Safety Center will be made available in nine Indian languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu.
Helping people manage their privacy and security is integral to everything we do. Over the years we’ve created many tools and are always improving them so you’re in control: Google Account gives you access to all the settings to safeguard your data and privacy; Privacy Checkup helps you quickly review and adjust what data Google uses to personalise your experience; My Activity helps you review and delete the activity data connected to your account.
Parents can also find information about how to use tools like Family Link and YouTube Kids to protect their family, and get tips on how to talk with their children and teens about topics like being kind online, setting boundaries, and staying safe online.
The Google Safety Centre is part of our ongoing commitment to give you tools and information to control how your data is used in Google services and help empower you to stay safe online. As technology continues to change the way we live, work, and play, our commitment to keeping you safe and secure online continues to grow.
