    FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES FOR YOUR PEOPLE CARD


    Help people find and distinguish you from others when they search for your name on Google:

    • Only include information about yourself: If you submit content that isn't about who you are and what you do, Google may remove your people card. For more info about possible violations, check the User Content Policy.

    • Generate your people card with suggestions for fields such as "hometown" or "profession:" If none of the suggestions fit, you can add your own free text. 

    • Keep your information up to date: Google may stop showing your card if it hasn't been updated or verified in a long time.

    If Google identifies content that potentially violates its terms and conditions, they'll ask you to change it. There will be a message on your card with steps on how to change the content or appeal the decision. Repeated attempts at abuse may limit or cancel your access to this service.



    CONTENT GUIDELINES FOR YOUR PEOPLE CARD



    The content on your people card:

    • Should be a true representation of who you are and what you do. You should use the name which others would enter when they search for you. Your profile picture should be a recognizable image of yourself. Do not pretend or in any way attempt to confuse or mislead. Your card should not make others believe that you are someone else or represent an organization you do not represent.

    • Should not contain solicitation or other forms of advertisement. Avoid subjective terms like “best”, “only”, and “cheapest.”

    • Must not include negative, derogatory, or comparative statements about other individuals, groups, events, or issues. This includes employers and other organizations to which you belong(ed). They should not be described beyond your affiliation.

    • Must not in any way promote, incite, or support hate, violence, or unlawful behavior. It should not contain profane, vulgar, or otherwise inappropriate language. It should not incite or support unlawful behavior.
    • Must respect the rights of others, including intellectual property and privacy rights. In particular, do not upload images or text that you do not have the right to use.

    Google relies on the help of other users and algorithmic signals to identify potentially false or otherwise inappropriate content. At any time, they may permanently or temporarily disable your card, subject to review.
