Dear Google user,

We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google.

We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.


One policy, one Google experience
Easy to work across Google Tailored for you Easy to share and collaborate
Easy to work across Google

Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.

Tailored for you

If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.

Easy to share and collaborate

When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.


Protecting your privacy hasn't changed

Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).

Got questions?
We've got answers.

Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)


Notice of Change

March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.

The Syrian rebel force fighting government troops in the besieged city of Homs says most of its fighters have left the Baba Amr district in a "tactical" withdrawal.

The Free Syrian Army said it was pulling out of Baba Amr to spare the lives of the 4,000 civilians who were refusing to leave their homes.

Baba Amr has been under heavy bombardment for nearly a month.

The BBC's Jim Muir says the withdrawal was by agreement between the two sides.

Titian's Diana and Callisto has a price tag of £50mTitian's Diana and Callisto was owned by the Duke of Sutherland

Titian's Diana and Callisto has been saved for the nation after a £45m deal was agreed with owner the Duke of Sutherland.

The "supremely important" oil painting was bought with the help of £25m from the National Gallery after a lengthy fundraising campaign.

Campaigners had already secured funds to buy sister piece Diana and Actaeon, for £50m, from the Duke in 2009.

The National Gallery hailed the "exceptional generosity" of donors.

It had been given until the end of the year to raise money for the second Titian work.

Diana and Callisto and Diana and Actaeon were produced in the 1500s by Renaissance artist Titian - full name Tiziano Vecelli - and are considered to be among his greatest works.

The paintings are among six large-scale works, painted for Philip II of Spain, that are inspired by Roman poet Ovid.

Breaking news

Foreign Secretary William Hague has withdrawn all diplomatic staff from the British Embassy in Syria and suspended its services.

Mr Hague said the embassy in Damascus had been retained "despite the violence" for communication purposes and to monitor events.

He said the deteriorating security situation put staff in danger.

The UN's rights council has passed a resolution condemning "systematic violations" against civilians.

Mr Hague revealed the decision in a written statement laid before Parliament.

He said the UK's ambassador and other diplomatic staff left Syria on 29 February and would shortly be returning to the UK.

He said: "British nationals who remain in Syria despite our longstanding and consistent message to leave the country should contact the embassy of any remaining European Union member state if they require consular assistance."

He said the UK remained committed to using diplomatic means to maintain pressure on President Bashar al-Assad's regime in a bid to stop the violence which has engulfed the country.

Monkees lead Davy Jones tributes

Davy Jones, top, in 1967, with fellow Monkees, from left to right, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Micky DolenzThe Monkees' hits included Daydream Believer and I'm a Believer

Davy Jones' Monkees bandmates have led the tributes to their "long-time friend and fellow-adventurer" after the British singer died aged 66 in Florida.

Guitarist Mike Nesmith said in a statement that Jones' "spirit and soul live well in my heart among all the lovely people". Bassist Peter Tork said: "Adios to the Manchester Cowboy."

Drummer/singer Mickey Dolenz, speaking to CNN, said the band had left a tour last year "on a huge high note".

The band had huge success in the 1960s.

Manchester-born Jones died in his sleep from a heart attack at his home in Florida, his publicist told the BBC. He was taken to a hospital where staff were unable to resuscitate him.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office said he had complained of breathing troubles early on Wednesday morning.

Nesmith said he remembered "the healing times that were created for so many including us".

Davy JonesThree of The Monkees performed a tour last year

"I have fond memories. I wish him safe travels."

Tork, in his statement, said: "It is with great sadness that I reflect on the sudden passing of my long-time friend and fellow-adventurer, David Jones.

"His talent will be much missed. His gifts will be with us always."

The Monkees, often described as the first manufactured pop band, were brought together for a US TV series in 1966 and were marketed as the American answer to The Beatles.

The TV show was popular in both the US and the UK, and the band had four number one albums in America within a 13-month period - as well as nine top 20 hits, including I'm a Believer and Daydream Believer - on which Jones sang lead vocals.

Three of the band's original members - Jones, Dolenz and Tork - reunited together last year to play a series of gigs.

David Thomas Jones was born in 1945 to a railway fitter and a housewife in Manchester and, at the age of 11, appeared on soap opera Coronation Street, playing Ena Sharples' grandson.

The Monkees in 1972The Monkees TV show originally ran from September 1966 to March 1968

He also had a role in the television series Z Cars, but when his mother died of emphysema in 1960, he left showbusiness to train as a jockey.

Basil Foster, the jockey who acted as his mentor, noticed Jones' skill as a performer and encouraged him to pursue his acting career.

He returned to acting with a role in a West End production of Oliver! After it transferred to Broadway, he built up a career as an actor and singer before auditioning for The Monkees.

Other figures from the music world to have paid tribute include The Smiths' guitarist Johnny Marr - speaking at the NME Awards - who said people would talk about Jones' legacy.

"There are a lot of musicians who have passed away who people don't remember.

"And he was from Manchester as well and he looked good and had good hair."

And The Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson said The Monkees were "just some guys having fun".

He added: "I think there's something infectious about guys looking like that and having fun. The tunes, you can't argue with them."

Music journalist Paul Gambaccini hailed Jones' "phenomenal" charisma.

"The pop world at that time loved The Beatles and that north-western English sound was something that America wanted, when they put together the so-called Pre-Fab Four," he said, referring to the nickname given to The Monkees.

He said the idea of the music industry putting together a band was previously unheard of.

"There had been individual teen idols who had been literally picked up off the street and groomed to be pop stars, but there had never been a band that was put together."

They had been assembled because two producers had enjoyed Beatles movie A Hard Day's Night, he added.

Radio presenter Dave Lee Travis said: "One of the things that people will probably be thinking about Davy Jones is the fact that he was 66.

"He always looked like a little kid. I think even in his latter years he looked very, very young."

Jones is survived by his third wife Jessica, his four daughters, Talia Jones, Sarah McFadden, Jessica Cramar and Annabel Jones, and three grandchildren, Harrison and Lauren McFadden and Phoenix Burrows.
