that bring us in line with industry practices. Since you have previously
used one or more of these products in your Google Account
storage< https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEyB66n7WHIyj8Eo5r inGlCV88e7bwJFGkTNy61qTaBZo08Nl_Wmqtn0o2sFrXVUoOEI7pIRFnyW_k lV2j7zGysdyhaEAStiQLBx5WecQBobXynRryXmd09rFkL4exf2XgI9tgd8Ok dpaqVo6CwFdw92JCrOYiasAz2T-fOnW_eU>,
we wanted to tell you about the new policies well before they go into
effect on June 1, 2021. Below is a summary of the new policies. Please
reference our Help Center
article< https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEwhxFId8JUvlRcY1P OrpuEJ9ZKi5pdcCDSFTQjPE4nybHIQKs_kZWeeMR_MCdI3e1YCbSoFKqiOVa 1crMbHhPPNHi1wzGU0dNgRUezIDnuyfSSeywkAaXP5Gnp9x-J1nR5FO8NA7j GUA4A>
for a complete list of what's changing.


Summary of the new policies (effective June 1, 2021):

- If you're
inactive< https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnExxXl_J_FOGVUciSk _eCieQ_YJTWwqxoc-PM08iEiWJZJHIEsDHVyPMf4-VT3K1S_gs62Gyut2BHs hYNloAG5QgISgwmlzb0Gon34B_VAFjoP1vHHLjUS9GTUCkPorUL0DZlZ_mZm c_>
for 2 years (24 months) in Gmail, Drive or Photos, we may delete the
content in the product(s) in which you're inactive. Google
One< https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnExcg84hk5ZpZD_20Q 68SIc2QQRmFz2qCLur6r7qYIgyYDnzQ6MMCz__k5pagY5xPmDC40faLJ7n3G 09f_T-MbhDf2GwhTqEIT6anEmh8Vp0umAMFhBC1oqINBdB3NTj0j8kNbI55l cPdT3LIteQwKzFPCX4>
members who are within their storage quota and in
good-standing< https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEy3VRJ8d_MEXkACaz NXfKighnQ5_jVUPhZY3qyC6zUJR2S-dMLh5NJLeI4kxaNyvT5HXI1Nwj7DWN 63i8k-0Kw8O6GFtdJ9qLeQPJRJiasM7HKkWYV856j4Z4QW-nP5DDM9Iw>
will not be impacted by this new inactive policy.


- If you exceed your storage limit for 2 years, we may delete your content
across Gmail, Drive and Photos.

What this means for you:

- You won't be impacted by these changes unless you've been inactive or
over your storage limit for 2 years. As this policy goes into effect June
1, 2021, the earliest it would be enforced is June 1, 2023.

- After June 1, 2021, if you are either inactive or over your storage
limit, we will send you email reminders and notifications in advance and
prior to deleting any content.

- Even if you are either inactive or over your storage limit for one or
more of these services and content is deleted, you will still be able to
sign in.

- Note: The inactivity and over quota storage policies will apply only to
consumer users of Google services. Google Workspace, G Suite for Education
and G Suite for Nonprofits policies are not changing at this time, and
admins should look to the Admin Help
center< https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEwbRb1G5oGTTLlzfi s9gwve_09YCyZ-Ho8XeEkXl2rT0XLfsQXyRfRMxoneY8BqhwdXRCfRAdDYiN Fsu1G_Rw9bqzqyR1aJKeUOATA-d7SNroLerBakcfaNLQ_Dbw>
