Google Visualization API

[Sameera]

Hello Everyone!

Does the Google Visualization API sends any chart data to the Google
servers?

I know that the Google Visualization FAQ answers this question here:

" The chart data included in the HTTP request is saved in temporary
logs for no longer than two weeks for internal testing and debugging
purposes. Of course you should understand that if your chart appears
in an image tag on a public webpage, it could be crawled."

Source : http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/faq.html#logging

However , in the Chart documentation under Data policy it states:

" All code and data are processed and rendered in the browser. No data
is sent to any server. "


Thanks,
Sameera

As far as I know, this is only for the image charts, where you send HTTP image request, and not for the interactive charts, where they are rendered locally on you browser. See that it also states that the logging is done for data in the HTTP request and since you do not send HTTP request you should be fine.

See the Data Policy section for each chart you use, that is the definitive source.  Most (if not all) of the interactive charts do all of the processing locally in javascript, though some could be different; check to make sure before you use a given chart.
