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.

Dear Google User,
We are writing to let you know that we recently announced new storage policies for Google Accounts using Gmail, Google Drive (including Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms, and Jamboard files) and/or Google Photos that bring us in line with industry practices. Since you have previously used one or more of these products in your Google Account storage, 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 for a complete list of what's changing.
Summary of the new policies (effective June 1, 2021):
If you're inactive 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 members who are within their storage quota and in good-standing 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 for storage policies related to their subscriptions.

Effects Of RPG Replica To The Society

By John Taylor


Wars are no longer a new issue today. In fact, almost every era there is war that happens. Starting from the beginning during the times of Christ, chaos was so rampant. Until today, people were still unable to address such a problem. Even children today are exposed to it, in or outside of war children seem to be knowledgeable when it comes to weapons rpg replica and other sale of fake guns is very rampant.

As stated in the preceding paragraph, war has been existed since the old days. These usually occur when there are misunderstandings between leaders for two or more different region. But the most common reason for this and the one that we are ashamed to mention is the never ending ambitions of a certain person.

Today, these kinds of conflicts are not anymore new. As a matter fact, conflicts nowadays are getting lame through time. Young generations are also getting exposed to these kinds of violence. That is why the government is trying to address this to further continue.

Apparently, due to the modernization, a lot of changes happened. These changes includes, but not limited, to the development of guns and firearms. Such things became the most common reason and instrument of crimes or even wars.

Unfortunately, because of influence from different sources violence seems not that new for kids. Without need to emphasize, violence and other immoral deeds and publications appeared to be natural as of today. Luckily, some television programs strictly supervise the shows being published in order to protect and preserve the innocent mind of every child.

If all of us are sincere to achieve the so called worldwide peace how come that some are still preparing for the coming war. Are they just making jokes about having total harmony. Indeed, there are plenty of international laws that are not being enforced because we do not have any intention of following it anyway.

Another thing that causes a problem today and even more to the coming future generation is the exposure of young people to violence. It was proven that person who witnessed or suffered from any kind of violence has a big possibility to be violent when he grows old. Actually, most criminals are reported to suffer violence when they were a child, mostly from their parents themselves.

For a particular country to prevent chaos, measures were already taken to counter these problems. One is the promotion of the rights of a child. Establishments were created who will assume the caring and raring of such when the circumstances require. Children are actually the hope of our future, so it is our responsibility today to take care of them and give them the best example that we could offer.

In any way, however clean the intention of someone trying to have possession of any weapon, still the result is something unpleasant to the community in general. If someone accidentally killed somebody on occasion of defending himself or herself, no matter how justified his or her action may be, still such action will chase you conscience for have killed another. People are naturally made to love one another, and inherent to all humans to have a soft and loving heart.
