What this means for you: - You won't be impacted by these changes unless you've been inactive or over your storage limit for two years. As this policy goes into effect 1 June 2021, the earliest it would be enforced is 1 June 2023. - After 1 June 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 Centre<https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnExAxEjEjq3Ny32tXMAetCl6_3ve6DhXGHhrEy45u5UnDl3UJhd7r-3YeIKLGDNYT77rSv1XYVCA1bSaS_y8jb-d8_gcd1rHRhdqwffkQ3y2BccQpWCOiIqJQlduDjQn> for storage policies related to their subscriptions.
