When visiting a site that we think is a phasing site or malicious programs, your browser will send a copy of the piece of site's URL to Google, so we can send more information about these risky URLs. Google can not determine the actual URL you are visiting just from this information. In addition, if you choose to share usage statistics with Google, and you visit a site that we think is a phasing site or a malicious program, certain other data will be provided to Google, including the full URL visited, header "referrer" which was sent to the page, and URLs that are matched with a list of malicious programs on the Google Safe Browsing. You can disable Google's Safe Browsing service as described here, or you can also cancel to share usage statistics with Google as described here. More information is available on how it works here.

These numbers and information about the installation of a browser (eg, number and language version) will be sent to Google when you first install and use it and when Google Chrome automatically checks for updates. If you choose to send usage statistics and crash reports to Google, the browser will send this information along with unique application numbers. Damage reports may contain information from files, applications and services running in the event of malfunction. We use crash reports to diagnose and try to fix problems in a browser.
