3.2 Google Play Services
Google Play services collects data on certified Android devices to support core device features. Collection of limited basic information, such as an IP address, is necessary to deliver content to a device, app, or browser. Device manufacturers also provide Google Play services with permission to access certain data on a device, such as location and contacts, to support these features.
Actual data collection varies depending on device settings configured by a user, the apps and services installed or used on a device, the device manufacturer, and a user's Google account settings. In many instances, Google Play services will access data locally on the device without collecting data off the device.
To support each of the functions described above, Google Play services may collect information for the following reasons:
Security and fraud prevention
Google collects data through Google Play services to help protect users, Google services, and third party developers' apps and services from fraud, spam, and abuse. This includes:
-
Information to validate that a request is coming from a real user and information about installed apps, including the results of malware scans.
-
Google account and login information if a user is signed in on a device.
-
Google may collect a device's phone number to provide account recovery services and to log users into phone number based services (like Google Duo).
-
Hardware identifiers such as IMEI, MAC addresses, and serial numbers, to update devices with the latest security patches and to monitor trends across the Android ecosystem, such as how long different types of devices stay in service. Google’s Device Configuration Service, which collects data to ensure that devices remain up-to-date and are working as well as possible, is part of Google Play services.
Support and improve the Android ecosystem
As described above, Google Play services provides a number of APIs and core device services that enable Android to be a feature-rich, connected platform. Google may collect data about these services and APIs to help provide, maintain and improve them. Depending on device settings, Google may collect additional information about a device. Examples include:
-
Google collects data to understand how these APIs are used and to help ensure that they function correctly.
-
If Google Location Accuracy is enabled, in addition to providing more accurate location on a device, location information may be used in an anonymous way to improve location-based services.
-
If a device’s usage and diagnostics control is enabled, Google collects information about device usage and how well a device is working to improve products and services, like Google apps and Android devices.
Provide Google services
If a user uses Google apps and services on Android, Google collects data through Google Play services to provide and improve those apps and services. For example:
-
Depending on a user’s settings, Google collects data like contacts and bookmarks to sync them across devices and the cloud.
-
Google Play services syncs a user’s Google account settings across devices, and collects information to help protect their account.
-
Google Play services may collect data to enable embedded app functionality like Google Maps.
-
For users with the “Saves your activity from apps on this device” setting enabled under Web & App Activity on their device, Google may save activity data from apps on the device to their Google Account so that it can be used to personalize Google apps and services.
