If there are differences in our policy between products, we'll point them out. We change this Privacy Notice from time to time.

'Beta,' 'Dev,' or 'Canary' versions of Chrome let you test new features still being created in Chrome. This Privacy Notice applies to all versions of Chrome, but might not be up-to-date for features still under development. For step-by-step guides to managing your privacy preferences, read. Table of contents:.

Browser modes You don't need to provide any personal information to use Chrome, but Chrome has different modes that you can use to change or improve your browsing experience. Privacy practices are different depending on the mode that you're using.

Basic browser mode The basic browser mode stores information locally on your system. This information might include:. Browsing history information. For example, Chrome stores the URLs of pages that you visit, a cache of text, images and other resources from those pages, and, if the feature is turned on, a list of some of the IP addresses linked from those pages. Personal information and passwords, to help you fill out forms or sign in to sites you visit. A list of permissions that you have granted to websites.

Thumbnail-sized screenshots of pages that you visit most often. or data from websites that you visit. Data saved by add-ons.

A record of what you downloaded from websites. You can manage this information in several ways:. You can.

You can manage or delete stored browsing data from the. You can stop Chrome from. You can review stored passwords in Chrome settings. You can view and manage your stored Autofill information. The personal information that Chrome stores won't be sent to Google unless you choose to store that data in your by turning on Chrome sync. How Chrome handles your information Information for website operators.

Sites that you visit using Chrome will automatically receive, including your system’s IP address and data from. In general, the fact that you use Chrome to access Google services, such as Gmail, does not cause Google to receive any additional personally identifying information about you. On Google websites and other websites that opt in, if Chrome detects signs that you are being actively attacked by someone on the network (a 'man in the middle attack'), Chrome may send information about that connection to Google or the website you visited to help determine the extent of the attack and how the attack functions.

Google provides participating website owners with reports about attacks occurring on their sites. To load web pages faster, Chrome has a setting that can look up the IP addresses of links on a web page and open network connections. Sites and Android apps can also ask the browser to preload the pages you might visit next. Preloading requests from Android apps are controlled by the same setting as Chrome-initiated predictions.

But preloading instructions from sites are always performed, regardless of whether Chrome’s network prediction feature is enabled. If prerendering is requested, whether by Chrome or by a site or app, the preloaded site is allowed to set and read its own cookies just as if you had visited it, even if you don’t end up visiting the prerendered page. To get more geographically relevant information, Chrome gives you the option to share your location with a site. Chrome won't allow a site to access your location without your permission; however, on mobile devices, Chrome automatically shares your location with your default search engine if the Chrome app has permission to access your location and you haven’t blocked geolocation for the associated web site. Chrome uses Google Location Services to estimate your location. The information that Chrome sends to Google Location Services may include:.

The Wi-Fi routers closest to you. Cell IDs of the cell towers closest to you. The strength of your Wi-Fi or cell signal.

The IP address that is currently assigned to your device Google doesn't have control over third-party websites or their privacy practices, so be cautious when sharing your location with a website. Chrome periodically sends information to Google to check for updates, get connectivity status, validate the current time, and estimate the number of active users.

Search features. If Google is your default search engine, Chrome contacts Google when you start searching or when you change networks, so you can get the best local web address for sending search queries. If you are signed in to a Google site and Google is your default search engine, searches you perform using the address bar in Chrome are stored in your Google Account. Search prediction service. To help you find information faster, Chrome uses the prediction service provided by your default search engine to offer likely completions to the text you are typing. When you search using the address bar in Chrome, the characters you type (even if you haven’t hit 'enter' yet) are sent to your default search engine.

If Google is your default search engine, predictions are based on your own search history, topics related to what you’re typing and what other people are searching for. Predictions can also based on your browsing history.

Navigation assistance. When you can’t connect to a web page, you can get suggestions for alternative pages similar to the one you're trying to reach.

In order to offer you suggestions, Chrome sends Google the URL of the page you're trying to reach. Autofill and password management. Chrome sends Google limited, anonymous information about the web forms that you encounter, including a hashed URL of the web page and details of the form's structure, so that we can improve our Autofill and password management services. If you have turned on Chrome sync and you have payment cards saved to your Google Payments account, then Chrome will offer you the option of filling those cards into web forms. In addition, if you enter a new payment card into a web form, Chrome will offer to save your payment card and related billing information to your Google Payments account.

If you use a payment card from your Google Payments account or choose to save your payment card in your Google Payments account for future use, Chrome will collect information about your computer and share it with Google Pay to protect you from fraud and provide the service. If supported by the merchant, Chrome will also allow you to pay using Google Pay. In order to customize your browsing experience based on the languages that you prefer to read, Chrome will keep a count of the most popular languages of the sites you visit. This language preference will be sent to Google to customize your experience in Chrome. If you have turned on Chrome sync, this language profile will be associated with your Google Account and, if you include Chrome history in your Google Web & App Activity, it may be used to personalize your experience in other Google products. Web Apps on Android.

On Android devices, if you select 'add to homescreen' for a website that has been optimized for, then Chrome will use a Google server to create a native Android package for that website on your device. The Android package allows you to interact with the web app as you would with an Android app. For example, the web app will appear in your list of installed apps. Usage statistics and crash reports. By default, usage statistics and crash reports are sent to Google to help us improve our products. Usage statistics contain information such as preferences, button clicks, and memory usage. In general, usage statistics do not include web page URLs or personal information, but, if you are signed in to Chrome and syncing your browsing history in your Google Account without a Sync passphrase, then Chrome usage statistics include information about the web pages you visit and your usage of them.

For example, we may collect statistics to identify web pages that load slowly. We use this information to improve our products and services, and to give web developers insight into improving their pages. Crash reports contain system information at the time of the crash, and may contain web page URLs or personal information, depending on what was happening at the time the crash report was triggered. We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly and with partners — like publishers, advertisers or web developers. You can change whether usage statistics and crash reports are sent to Google at any time. If Google Play apps are enabled on your Chromebook and Chrome usage statistics are enabled, then Android diagnostic and usage data is also sent to Google.

Media licenses. Some websites encrypt media to protect against unauthorized access and copying.

For HTML5 sites, this key exchange is done using the Encrypted Media Extensions API. In the process of allowing access to this media, session identifiers and licenses may be stored locally. These identifiers can be cleared by the user in Chrome using with 'Media licenses' enabled. For sites that use Adobe Flash Access, Chrome will provide a unique identifier to content partners and websites. The identifier is stored on your system. You can deny this access in the settings under Content Settings, Protected content, and reset the ID using with 'Media licenses' enabled.

If you access protected content in Chrome on Android, or access higher quality or offline content on Chrome OS, a content provider may ask Chrome for a certificate to verify the eligibility of the device. Your device will share a site specific identifier with the website to certify that its cryptographic keys are protected by Chrome hardware. Chrome will prompt you to allow or deny this verification check.

Other Google services. This notice describes the Google services that are enabled by default in Chrome. In addition, Chrome may offer other Google web services. For example, if you encounter a page in a different language, Chrome will offer to send the text to Google for translation.

You will be notified of your options for controlling these services when you first use them. You can find more information in the. Identifiers in Chrome Chrome includes a number of unique and non-unique identifiers necessary to power features and functional services. For example, if you use push messaging, an identifier is created in order to deliver notices to you. Where possible, we use non-unique identifiers and remove identifiers when they are no longer needed. Additionally, the following identifiers help us develop, distribute, and promote Chrome, but are not directly related to a Chrome feature.

Installation tracking. Each copy of the Windows desktop version of the Chrome browser includes a temporary randomly generated installation number that is sent to Google when you install and first use Chrome. This temporary identifier helps us estimate the number of installed browsers, and will be deleted the first time Chrome updates. The mobile version of Chrome uses a variant of the device identifier on an ongoing basis to track the number of installations of Chrome.

Promotion tracking. In order to help us track the success of promotional campaigns, Chrome generates a unique token that is sent to Google when you first run and use the browser. In addition, if you received or reactivated your copy of the desktop version of the Chrome browser as part of a promotional campaign and Google is your default search engine, then searches from the omnibox will include a non-unique promotional tag. All mobile versions of the Chrome browser also include a non-unique promotional tag with searches from the omnibox.

Chrome OS may also send a non-unique promotional tag to Google periodically (including during initial setup) and when performing searches with Google. Field trials. We sometimes conduct limited tests of new features. Chrome includes a seed number that is randomly selected on first run to assign browsers to experiment groups.

Site Specific Browser In Chrome For Mac

Experiments may also be limited by country (determined by your IP address), operating system, Chrome version, and other parameters. A list of field trials that are currently active on your installation of Chrome is included in all requests sent to Google. Signed-in, Synced Chrome mode When you sign in to the Chrome browser or a Chromebook and enable sync with your, your personal browsing data is saved on Google's servers and synced with your account. This personal information will be used and protected in accordance with the. This type of information can include:.

Browsing history. Bookmarks. Tabs. Passwords and Autofill information. Other browser settings, like installed extensions These settings are loaded for you anytime you sign in and sync to Chrome on other computers and devices.

On desktop versions of Chrome, signing into or out of any Google web service (e.g. Google.com) signs you into or out of Chrome. Chrome synchronization is only enabled if you choose. To customize the specific information that you synchronize, use the 'Settings' menu. You can see the amount of Chrome data stored for your Google Account and manage it on the.

On the Dashboard, except for Google Accounts created through Family Link, you can also disable synchronization completely and delete all the associated data from Google’s servers. For children with Google Accounts created in Family Link, sign-in is required and Chrome sync cannot be disabled because it provides parent management features, such as website restrictions. However, children with these accounts can still delete their data and disable synchronization of most data types. The applies to Chrome sync data stored in those accounts.

How Chrome handles your synced information When you sync Chrome with your Google Account, we use your browsing data to improve and personalize your experience within Chrome. You can also personalize your experience on other Google products, by allowing your Chrome history to be included in your Google Web & App Activity. You can change this setting on your page or whenever you like. If you don't use your Chrome data to personalize your Google experience outside of Chrome, Google will only use your Chrome data after it's anonymized and aggregated with data from other users.

Google uses this data to develop new features, products, and services, and to improve the overall quality of existing products and services. If you would like to use Google's cloud to store and sync your Chrome data but you don't want Google to access the data, you can encrypt all of your synced data with your own sync passphrase. Incognito mode and guest mode You can limit the information Chrome stores on your system by using. In these modes, Chrome won't store certain information, such as:.

Basic browsing history information like URLs, cached page text, or IP addresses of pages linked from the websites you visit. Snapshots of pages that you visit.

Records of your downloads, although the files you download will still be stored elsewhere on your computer or device How Chrome handles your incognito or guest information Cookies. Chrome won't share existing cookies with sites you visit in incognito or guest mode. Sites may deposit new on your system while you are in these modes, but they'll only be stored and transmitted until you close the last incognito or guest window. Browser configuration changes.

When you make changes to your browser configuration, like bookmarking a web page or changing your settings, this information is saved. These changes are not affected by incognito or guest mode.

Permissions you grant in incognito mode are not saved to your existing profile. Profile information. In incognito mode, you will still have access to information from your existing profile, such as suggestions based on your browsing history and saved passwords, while you are browsing. In guest mode, you can browse without seeing information from any existing profiles. Managing Users in Chrome Managing users for personal Chrome use You can set up personalized versions of Chrome for users sharing one device or computer. Note that anyone with access to your device can view all the information in all profiles. To truly protect your data from being seen by others, use the built-in user accounts in your operating system.

Managing users on Chrome for Enterprise Some Chrome browsers or Chromebooks are managed by a school or company. In that case, the administrator has the ability to apply policies to the browser or Chromebook. Chrome contacts Google to check for these policies when a user first starts browsing (except in guest mode). Chrome checks periodically for updates to policies. An administrator can set up a policy for status and activity reporting for Chrome, including location information for Chrome OS devices. Your administrators may also have the ability to access, monitor, use or disclose data accessed from your managed device.

Safe Browsing practices Google Chrome and certain third-party browsers, like some versions of Mozilla Firefox and Apple’s Safari, include Google's Safe Browsing feature. With Safe Browsing, information about suspicious websites is sent and received between the browser you are using and Google's servers. How Safe Browsing works Your browser contacts Google's servers periodically to download the most recent 'Safe Browsing' list, which contains known phishing and malware sites. The most recent copy of the list is stored locally on your system. Google doesn't collect any account information or other personally identifying information as part of this contact.

However, it does receive, including an IP address. Each site you visit is checked against the Safe Browsing list on your system.

If there's a match, your browser sends Google a hashed, partial copy of the site’s URL so that Google can send more information to your browser. Google cannot determine the real URL from this information. The following Safe Browsing features are specific to Chrome:. Some versions of Chrome feature Safe Browsing technology that can identify potentially harmful sites and potentially dangerous file types not already known by Google. The full URL of the site or potentially dangerous file might also be sent to Google to help determine whether the site or file is harmful. Chrome uses Safe Browsing technology to scan your computer periodically, in order to detect unwanted software that prevents you from changing your settings or otherwise interferes with the security and stability of your browser.

If this kind of software is detected, Chrome might offer you the option to download the to remove it. You can choose to send additional data to help improve Safe Browsing when you access a site that appears to contain malware or when Chrome detects unwanted software on your computer. If you use Chrome’s password manager, Safe Browsing checks with Google when you enter any saved password on an uncommon page to protect you from phishing attacks.

In addition, Safe Browsing protects your Google Account password. If you enter it on a likely phishing site, Chrome will prompt you to change your Google Account password. If you sync your browsing history, Chrome will also flag your Google Account as likely phished. If you are a Safe Browsing user and you are syncing your Chrome browsing history to your Google Account, then, to improve the safety and utility of web feature permissions, Chrome may anonymously report the domains on which you grant, reject, and revoke permissions, or ignore or dismiss permission prompts. You can always choose to.

Privacy practices of apps, extensions, themes, services, and other add-ons You can use apps, extensions, themes, services and other add-ons with Chrome, including some that may be preinstalled or integrated with Chrome. Add-ons developed and provided by Google may communicate with Google servers and are subject to the unless otherwise indicated. Add-ons developed and provided by others are the responsibility of the add-on creators and may have different privacy policies. Managing add-ons Before installing an add-on, you should review the requested permissions. Add-ons can have permission to do various things, like:. Store, access, and share data stored locally or in your Google Drive account. View and access content on websites you visit.

Use notifications that are sent through Google servers Chrome can interact with add-ons in a few different ways:. Checking for updates. Downloading and installing updates. Sending usage indicators to Google about the add-ons Some add-ons might require access to a unique identifier for digital rights management or for delivery of push messaging. You can disable the use of identifiers by removing the add-on from Chrome. From time to time, Google might discover an add-on that poses a security threat, violates the developer terms for Chrome Web Store, or violates other legal agreements, laws, regulations, or policies. Chrome periodically downloads a list of these dangerous add-ons, in order to remotely disable or remove them from your system.

The location for Chrome’s default profile folder differs depending on your platform. The locations are:. Windows 7, 8.1, and 10: C: Users AppData Local Google Chrome User Data Default.

Mac OS X El Capitan: Users//Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default. Linux: /home//.config/google-chrome/default Just replace with the name of your user folder. The default profile folder is simply named Default (or default in Linux). However, if you’ve created additional profiles, their folder names are not as obvious. The name you assigned to the profile when you created it displays on a name button on the right side of the title bar on the Chrome window. Unfortunately, the name Chrome uses on the associated profile folder is a generic, numbered name like “Profile 3”. If you need to edit one of your other profiles, you can figure out its folder name quite simply.

Each time you switch profiles, a new Chrome window opens using that profile. In the Chrome window showing the profile on the name button that you want to find, enter chrome://version in the address bar and press Enter. The “Profile Path” shows the location of the current profile. For example, the location of my “Work” profile in Windows 10 is actually C: Users Lori AppData Local Google Chrome User Data Profile 3. You can select the path and copy it and paste it into File Explorer in Windows, the Finder on OS X, or into a file manager like Nautilus in Linux to access that folder. RELATED: To back up your profile(s), copy the Default profile folder and any numbered Profile folders in the UserData folder on Windows, the Chrome folder on Mac OS X El Capitan, or the google-chrome folder in Linux to an external hard drive or a cloud service.

You can completely reset Google Chrome by deleting (or renaming or moving) the data (User Data, Chrome, or google-chrome) folder. The next time you start Chrome, a new data folder will be created with a fresh default profile. If you really want to get your hands dirty, you can set up with different browser settings, bookmarks, extensions, apps, and saved passwords. This is useful if you want to test things like extensions, or troubleshoot problems in Chrome without messing up your main profile. You could even have different profiles for different users, or different situations like “Work” and “Personal”.
