How Google One protects your privacy

Keeping you safe online means protecting your information and respecting your privacy. That’s why in every product we make, Google focus on keeping your information secure, handling it responsibly, and keeping you in control.

How dark web report works

With a Google One membership, you can set up a profile to monitor the dark web so you can learn if your info is found in breaches.

You can check for data on the dark web that might be associated with your email address or other info you add to your monitoring profile. Breach results may contain information including:

  • Your name
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Email
  • Social Security Number (SSN)
  • Username
  • Password

Tip: Only accounts with a US billing method can add a Social Security Number to their monitoring profile.

Any information found in the breach results will be displayed in redacted form to maintain data privacy.

With the results, you can review your information and make informed decisions about how to protect yourself.

You don’t need a paid Google One membership to run a dark web report for the email address associated with your Google Account.
