Name

If you created your account more than 2 weeks ago, you can change your name as much as you want, as long as it isn’t more than 3 times in one minute.Nickname If you’ve already created a nickname, it’s used if you don’t have a name set. If you delete your nickname, you won’t be able to create another one. This nickname is different from the nickname you can add in your “About me” page. To change that nickname, go to About me.Birthday

After you add your birthday to your account, you can’t delete it. However, you can edit it and change who sees it.

Note: Your birthday may be used for account security and personalization across Google services.

Who sees your birthday

By default, your birthday isn’t shared with other people who use Google services. To control who sees your birthday, go to the About me section of your Google Account.

Some ways Google uses your birthday

Google can use your birthday to:

  • Make sure you’re old enough to use certain services and features. For example, YouTube videos with age restrictions aren’t available to kids.
  • Know when to show a birthday theme on the Google Search page.
  • Determine your age group for personalized recommendations and ads. You can turn off personalized ads.

Gender

You have a few options in the Gender section of your Google Account. You can:

  • Specify your gender
  • Choose not to specify your gender
  • Add a custom gender and choose how Google refers to you

Who sees your gender

By default, your gender isn’t shared with other people who use Google services. To control who sees your gender, go to the About me section of your Google Account.

How Google uses your gender

We use your gender to make Google services more personal. When you specify your gender, you help us to:

  • Personalize messages and other text that refer to you. For example, people who can see your gender will see text like “Send him a message” or “In her circles.”
  • Provide more relevant, tailored content you might be interested in, like ads.

If you don’t specify your gender, we’ll refer to you in gender-neutral terms, like “Send them a message.”
