We do not use Google’s platform products or Google ad code to select or target personalized ads, or to collect or use audience data, based on the sensitive categories that Google prohibits (e.g., health, negative financial status, race/ethnicity, religion, criminal history, political affiliation, trade union membership, sexual behavior/orientation) or on users under 13, or on sites/apps directed to children under 13. In the U.S. and Canada, we also follow restrictions for housing, employment, and credit-related ads.
