Subject: Updating our Google Account inactivity policy
=20
Every day Google works hard to keep you and your private information =
safe and secure by preventing unauthorized access to your Google Account =
with our built-in security protections. And keeping you safe means =
having strong privacy practices across our products that minimize how =
long we store your personal files and any data associated with them. We =
want to protect your private information and prevent any unauthorized =
access to your account even if you=E2=80=99re no longer using our =
services.
Therefore, we are updating the inactivity period =

Google Account to two years across all our products and services. This =
change starts rolling out today and will apply to any Google Account =
that=E2=80=99s been inactive, meaning it has not been signed into or =
used within a two-year period. An inactive account and any content in it =
will be eligible for deletion from December 1, 2023.
What this means for you:
* These changes do not impact you unless you have been inactive in your =
Google Account for two years or have not used your account to sign in to =
any Google service for over two years.
* While the changes go into effect today, the earliest we would enforce =
any account deletion would be December 2023.
* If your account is considered inactive, we will send several reminder =
emails to both you and your recovery emails (if any have been provided) =
before we take any action or delete any account content. These reminder =
emails will go out at least 8 months before any action is taken on your =
account.
* After a Google Account is deleted, the Gmail address for the deleted =
account cannot be used again when creating a new Google Account.
How to keep your account active?
The simplest way to keep a Google Account active is to sign in to the =
account at least once every two years. If you have signed in to your =
Google Account recently in the past two years, your account is =
considered active and will not be deleted.
Other ways to keep your account active include:
* Reading or sending an email
* Using Google Drive
* Watching a YouTube video
* Sharing a photo
* Downloading an app
* Using Google Search
* Using Sign in with Google to sign in to a third-party app or service
There are some exceptions to this policy. Examples include: a Google =
Account with YouTube channels, videos or comments; an account that has a =
gift card with a monetary balance; or an account that has a published =
application, for example, one that hosts an app on the Google Play =
store. Other exceptions to this policy are available here =
