Google’s Find My Device network aims to help users locate all digital (phones, wearables, hearables) and physical (wallet, keys, bikes) assets safely by leveraging the power of the crowdsourced network of Android devices. We expect our users to use and engage with our product in a responsible, safe, and legal way. The policies listed below play an important role in maintaining a safe experience for our users and curbing abuses that threaten or expose real-world harm.

Compatible trackers can show potential victims a redacted version of your Google Account email address.
