Is Google Visualization API safe to use for displaying semi-secure data?

[shoelessone]

Hi all!

I am wondering about how safe it would be use Google Visualization API
for displaying any sort of semi-secure data. In particular, I would
like to display sales data by state, so $XXXX sales in New York, $YYYY
sales in California, etc. The code I'm experimenting with results in
an iFrame being created, but I can't tell if any of the actual data is
being sent to Google or if it's just a call to load JS resources/etc?

In other words, if I'm doing this:
<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.google.com/jsapi'></
script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
google.load('visualization', '1', {'packages': ['geochart']});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawRegionsMap);

function drawRegionsMap() {
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
data.addColumn('string', '', 'Sate');
data.addColumn('number', 'Population (mil)', 'a');
data.addColumn('number', 'Area (km2)', 'b');
data.addRows(5);
data.setValue(0, 0, 'California');
data.setValue(0, 1, 1324);
data.setValue(0, 2, 9640821);
var options = {
//options['region'] = 'US';
//options['resolution'] = 'provinces';
};

var container = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
var geochart = new google.visualization.GeoChart(container);
geochart.draw(data, {width: 556, height: 347, region: 'US',
resolution: 'provinces'});

};
</script>

Do I have to be concerned that any of this information is being sent
to Google? Is there anything I need to be concerned, security wise?

Thanks all!

Hi,

Your information is not being sent to any server. The only things sent to the server are requests for the JS resources and the map borders information.

Hope this helps,

In general, most of the interactive charts (if not all) do not send any of your data back to Google.  Check the data policy for each chart you plan to use, to be certain (ex, bar charts: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/barchart.html#Data_Policy).
