Google does not own UC Berkeley users’ data. Google does not take a position on whether the data belongs to UC Berkeley or the individual user, but it knows it doesn’t belong to Google. (For specific questions about UC’s intellectual properties and copyright policies, please refer to UCOP’s Copyright Resources.) Specifically,
- Google won’t share your data with others except as noted in Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Google will keep your data as long as UC Berkeley requires Google to keep it.
Google maintains multiple backup copies of users’ content so that Google can recover data and restore accounts in case of errors or system failure. When you ask Google to delete messages and content, Google makes reasonable efforts to remove deleted information from our systems within a commercially reasonable amount of time.
