The Google Privacy Policy describes how we
treat personal information when you use Google's services, including information provided
to Google Notebook. In addition, the following describes our practices that are specific to
Google Notebook.
Personal Information
- You need a Google
Account to use Google Notebook. Google asks for some personal information when you
create a Google Account, including your email address and a password, which is used to
protect your account from unauthorized access. A Google Account allows you to access many
of our services that require registration.
- We process and maintain the content you store in your notebooks in order to operate and
improve Google Notebook and other Google services.
- If you publish a notebook, the nickname specified in your Google Profile will be
associated with and made public with the published notebook.
- When you use Google Notebook, Google's servers automatically record certain information
about your use of the service. Similar to other web services, Google records information
such as account activity (including storage usage, number of log-ins), data displayed or
clicked on (including UI elements, links); and other log information
(including browser type, IP-address, date and time of access, cookie ID, and referrer URL).
Uses
- Content you publish in a public notebook may be read, copied, used and re-distributed
by people you do not know. Use care when posting personal information on any site and do
not include sensitive information, such as social security numbers, financial information
or home addresses or phone numbers.
Your choices
- You may terminate your use of Google Notebook at any time by uninstalling the browser
extension and deleting your notebooks. Please note that uninstalling the extension alone
does not delete your notebooks. For more information on how to uninstall the extension and
delete your notebooks, see http://www.google.com/googlenotebook/faq.html.
- You can unpublish a notebook at any time by utilizing the unpublish option provided
within the user interface.
- You may delete content from your notebooks at any time, and the content will be deleted
from our servers.

Google adheres to the US Safe Harbor privacy principles. For more information about the
Safe Harbor framework or our registration, see the Department of Commerce's web site.
