The use of Google Fonts & Google Fonts API:
• The Google Fonts API is designed to limit the collection, storage, and use of end-user data to only what is needed to serve fonts efficiently. The use of the Google Fonts API is unauthenticated and the Google Fonts API does not set or log cookies. Requests to the Google Fonts API are made to resource-specific domains, such as fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com. Font requests are separate from and don’t contain any credentials sent to google.com while using other Google services that are authenticated, such as Gmail.
• The Google Fonts API logs the details of the HTTP request, which includes the timestamp, requested URL, and all HTTP headers (including referrer and user agent string) provided in connection with the use of our CSS API.
• IP addresses are not logged.
• Access to logged data is kept secure. Aggregate usage stats are used to measure the popularity of font families and are published on the Google Fonts analytics page.
• To learn more about the information Google collects and how it is used and secured, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
