Chromium Privacy

Our promise: Chromium provides users full transparency and control over the information managed by the browser.

Furthermore, we’re constantly trying to improve privacy aspects of your browsing experience by implementing new innovative privacy features.

How can I get involved?

If you discover a privacy issue, e.g. a behavior where your personal information is not adequately protected, or used in an non-transparent or unexpected fashion, or bugs related to existing privacy features such as the content settings, please file a bug in our public bug tracker.

For privacy issues other than reporting a bug, you can email us: privacy@chromium.org. For non-confidential discussions, please post to the technical discussion forums.

Privacy-enhancing extensions

We implement extension APIs such as the cookie extension API that enable developers to implement privacy-enhancing extensions.

The Google Chrome Webstore includes a variety of extensions related to privacy and security:

Additional Information on Google Chrome and Privacy

Google Chrome (as opposed to Chromium) is distributed by Google under the terms of the Google Privacy Policy. Furthermore, the Google Chrome Privacy Notice describes our privacy practices that are specific to Google Chrome.

Additionally, we provide the Google Chrome Privacy landing page and the Google Chrome Privacy Whitepaper which describes what information is transmitted to Google and why, as well as how to disable certain features in Google Chrome which affect your privacy.

You will always have the option to use Google Chrome in a way that does not send any personal information to Google.
