What we log
Google Public NTP stores temporary logs with your full IP address. We do this
for debugging, to improve our service, and so we can spot potentially bad things
like DDoS attacks.
We delete these temporary logs within 30 days.
We don't correlate or combine information from our logs with any personal
information that you have provided Google for other services.
