Google Checkout Buyer Help

Google takes the privacy of your information seriously. Your payment information and shipping addresses can be saved in your Google Account to make future purchases more convenient and secure. We guarantee that:

• Your account information is stored on our secure servers.
• Your purchase information is encrypted during transmission with industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) technology.
• Google does not share your full credit card number with sellers.
• Google won't disclose personally identifiable information about your purchase history to advertisers or merchants.

Sellers may have access to your address and/or telephone number, as necessary to complete your transaction.

For certain transactions, sellers may require access to your telephone number. If we share your telephone number with a seller, we will display a notification message under Billing Information and Privacy before you submit your purchase.

At this time, it isn't possible to edit or delete items from your purchase history. We hope this section of your account will serve as a useful record of all your online purchases.

If you don't want to save your payment information in your Google Account, you can delete it after making a purchase. Keep in mind that your payment information must be saved in your Google Account if you are expecting a refund.

Here's how to delete payment information:

1. Sign in to your account at https://checkout.google.com/.
2. From the Purchase History page, click Edit shipping addresses or Edit payment methods, depending on what you'd like to delete.
3. Click Delete next to the address or card information that you'd like to delete.

With Google Checkout, you decide on a seller-by-seller basis when you place an order whether you'd like to keep your email address confidential or receive emails from the seller.

At your request, Google will keep your email address confidential on an order-by-order basis. This is accomplished by creating an anonymous email forwarding address which you may disable at any time. When placing your order, select keep your email address private and Google will then forward the seller's emails to you without sharing your real email address.

If you no longer want to receive emails from a seller, simply click the 'Stop receiving emails from...' opt-out link at the bottom of any email from that seller. You may be prompted to sign into your account before confirming your selection. If you later contact the seller, email forwarding will automatically be re-enabled to allow the seller to respond to your inquiry.

If you use Google Checkout to buy from a store you've shopped with in the past, they may associate your Google Account with the information they already have on file. This allows for streamlined communication and better customer service.

You also have the option to receive promotional emails from sellers - simply leave the box checked next to I want to receive promotional emails. If you'd rather not receive product updates, special offers, or promotions from the seller, uncheck the box. If you buy from this seller again using Google Checkout, Google will remember your preference.
