Updating our Google Account inactivity policy

Every day Google works hard to keep you and your private information safe and secure by preventing unauthorized access to your Google Account with our built-in security protections. And keeping you safe means having strong privacy practices across our products that minimize how long we store your personal files and any data associated with them. We want to protect your private information and prevent any unauthorized access to your account even if you're no longer using our services.

Therefore, we are updating the inactivity period for a Google Account to two years across all our products and services. This change starts rolling out today and will apply to any Google Account that's been inactive, meaning it has not been signed into or used within a two-year period. An inactive account and any content in it will be eligible for deletion from December 1, 2023.

What this means for you:

  • These changes do not impact you unless you have been inactive in your Google Account for two years or have not used your account to sign in to any Google service for over two years.
  • While the changes go into effect today, the earliest we would enforce any account deletion would be December 2023.
  • If your account is considered inactive, we will send several reminder emails to both you and your recovery emails (if any have been provided) before we take any action or delete any account content. These reminder emails will go out at least 8 months before any action is taken on your account.
  • After a Google Account is deleted, the Gmail address for the deleted account cannot be used again when creating a new Google Account.

How to keep your account active?

The simplest way to keep a Google Account active is to sign in to the account at least once every two years. If you have signed in to your Google Account recently in the past two years, your account is considered active and will not be deleted.

Other ways to keep your account active include:

  • Reading or sending an email
  • Using Google Drive
  • Watching a YouTube video
  • Sharing a photo
  • Downloading an app
  • Using Google Search
  • Using Sign in with Google to sign in to a third-party app or service

There are some exceptions to this policy. Examples include: a Google Account with YouTube channels, videos or comments; an account that has a gift card with a monetary balance; or an account that has a published application, for example, one that hosts an app on the Google Play store. Other exceptions to this policy are available here.

Google also offers tools to help manage your Google Account and provide options to back up your data, including the ability to download your data using Google Takeout, and allowing you to plan for what happens to your data if you're inactive for a specific period of time with the Inactive Account Manager.

Our priority is to make it as easy as possible for you to keep your account active, if you want to, and we'll ensure you have adequate notice before any account is impacted by this change. So before an account is deleted, Google will send email notifications to the Google Account and its recovery email (if one has been provided). You should verify that your recovery email is up to date.

Thank you,
The Google Account team

Celebrating Juneteenth: Embracing Freedom, Equality, and Education

WGU
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dear Septian,

As we commemorate Juneteenth, we reflect on this day as a significant turning point toward hope and opportunity. Though our nation still grapples with social injustice and inequity, we believe change is possible.

At WGU, we are committed to changing lives for the better.

We can and must find opportunities to build a future where pathways are expanded and barriers to success are removed— for everyone.

We encourage everyone to actively participate in local events, share their knowledge, and engage in meaningful conversations that promote a better understanding of our shared history.

Celebrating Pride Together

WGU
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dear Septian,

Each June marks the celebration of Pride for the LGBTQIA+ community. No matter what barriers the LGBTQIA+ community faces they remain resilient. Resilient to stand for what is right, to weather hardships, and to never give up.

We recently participated in Salt Lake City's Pride Fest and WGU is proud to be a sponsor of the upcoming Seattle PrideFest. For those of you in the Seattle area, we will be present at the festival on Sunday, June 25th and hope to see you there — stop by to grab some great, Pride-themed WGU swag!

Speaking of swag, if you purchase at least one item from the "LGBTQ+ Pride Month" collection, and at least one item from the "PRIDE Owls" collection, you will get 20% off those items.
 
 
 
 
 
As we celebrate Pride Month, we encourage everyone, no matter how you identify, to take a moment to acknowledge and respect our differences, but more importantly, to appreciate our similarities. It is our drive to achieve more and create a better life and world for ourselves and others that unites us all.

Learn more about how WGU celebrates pride month and register for a webinar with Greg R. Baird, who will share stories and insights about how all of us can be supportive allies in the workplace and community
