Privacy Notice: Essentials about Google Toolbar (5)

Third party custom buttons send information such as search queries or text that you type into the button to third party developers. These third parties are not operated by Google or covered by Google’s Privacy Policy.

Uses:
* We process your requests in order to operate and improve the Google Toolbar and other Google services. For example, by knowing which web page you are viewing, the PageRank feature of Google Toolbar can show you Google’s ranking of that web page. Likewise, by processing the text on a web page, SpellCheck can offer spelling suggestions and AutoLink can provide useful links to information.

Information security:
* If you provide credit card information to use Toolbar’s AutoFill feature, that information will be saved on your computer in encrypted form. It is not transmitted to Google.

* Any information sent to Google will be maintained in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy. Google’s Privacy Policy does not cover information that you send to third party sites.

Your choices:
* Any Toolbar feature that works by automatically sending Google addresses or other information about sites when you visit them, or that associates data with your Google Account, can be disabled or re-enabled as explained in the FAQ.

* If you do not wish for the Toolbar to send usage and configuration statistics as part of its periodic update requests, you can disable usage statistics following these instructions.
