Building a safer experience

Across all products and services, we set clear policies for what is and isn’t acceptable on our platforms. These policies aim to ensure a safe and positive experience for our users and observe a high standard of quality and reliability for advertisers, publishers and content creators alike.

Content policies and Community Guidelines

Content policies establish the rules of the road for what content can be created, uploaded, sent, shared, and monetised. These policies are used to guide content moderation and enforcement actions on our products. Community Guidelines play an important role in maintaining a positive experience for everyone on our platforms no matter where they are in the world.

Developer & API Policies

User data and developer policies provide rules for how developers interact with our products and services. They also describe the privacy and security requirements for handling user data to include the full spectrum of developer actions, like requesting, obtaining, using, and sharing data.

Monetised product guidelines

Monetised product guidelines are the policies and standards related to products Google earns revenue from and cover what can or can’t be monetised. These policies empower and protect users whilst promoting a thriving digital ecosystem that is safe and conducive to innovation and growth.
