that bring us in line with industry practices. Since you have previously  
used one or more of these products in your Google Account

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-FnExRyef9PtssQd_CzuA4xPoPZSE9aIA0PI9S3wdFMTnzg2aCa_e2fASOdNpk_CPd6qloHOz4XdcpEUa8aCOaKcZfX7EIWW4vXA3T-VaG7YY_HNjWsqAl4cBElWZW72YeKbzWSeEHNm4l5U1s>  
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-FnEy74orL6KhyY0jkDU7oZR4ifvd6D45khqLGx9q1wxgNd2G7qEwKTunjLXDcBOKwZ1SaHkVgZPuY9N5I1p4zAFdoUTKoE1NMWlVc1l8gbKTOnzoE3ch9fWDovOosV726n2s8pxY8WROapA>  
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-FnEw7ALNgkzqARdlYaB6lJzuY7-LNbhUvKnaXDOyjEiluL3ZNzbYIXe0b7l6qgYbKkNEcRF-8u3cWrF-BbXHrx73fL5wTvQIPx0QSlp3QyZY8VEG6WD0lZlkuE3fPPHpQSGQvVdxt5Sw-zCRz-6mBLVDg43nglg>  
members who are within their storage quota and in  
good-standing<https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEzPSWvhyXr48vXk5-X-CXidhQqqOYG1GrqANcDBeqIl_178wuoOpm53S84wn5fjxamVB3J_vDnFrTyXBfG7cllBFgkA0c6BcdhpJMXjBkuv2PJW7D7PGbzhEphcJhvqmL4x4Ck>  
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-FnEyg56Py3deIhbse16bHWzcUQai5r-Gm_CbkebVFIYgHx9SVu4EPRrIL0-bmJsL_Fc0bLUMU7K11Ojgyss3J6aRazrUC24DhSq6UfMaA3asJPFCi0vBCubdpnbpPknw>
