Information Sharing

Google devotes a section of its privacy policy to the conditions under which the company would share certain personally identifying or nonpersonally identifying information you submit. First of all, it is Google’s policy never to rent or sell any personally identifying information with other companies unless Google has your consent. The only other times Google will share your personal information is if the company uses a trusted thirdparty to process the information on its behalf; if law requires the company to do so; or if Google has reason to think that sharing your information is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Google, its users, or the public. The third-party businesses that Google hires to process your personal information are legally bound by contract to abide by Google’s privacy policy and keep your information confidential.
