Privacy and Security FAQ

Providing your school community with a safe digital learning environment is essential to Google for Education, so you can teach and learn knowing your school community’s data is private and secure.

Private and secure

We build and operate our own servers and services. We also make it easy for admins to manage their digital security, with centralized controls, default protections, and increased visibility across their entire domain.

Ad-free

Google Workspace for Education Core Services (like Gmail, Google Calendar, Classroom, and more) have no ads, and student information in Core Services is never used to create profiles for ad targeting, or sold to third parties.

Compliant

Our services support your organization’s compliance with demanding privacy and security requirements. We also regularly undergo independent verification—achieving certifications, attestations, and audit reports to help demonstrate compliance.

Transparent

Google is committed to transparency about the collection of your data – our Google Workspace for Education Privacy Notice explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage it.

Trustworthy content and information

Age-based content, safer browsing settings, training and curriculum resources plus integrated apps – found easily through the Google for Education App Hub – help provide a safer, high-quality digital educational experience.
