Data deletion on Google Cloud
This document gives an overview of the secured process that occurs when you delete your customer data on Google Cloud. As defined in the Google Cloud Terms of Service, customer data is data that is provided to Google by customers or end users through the services under the account. This document describes how customer data is stored in Google Cloud, the deletion pipeline, and how we prevent any reconstruction of data that is stored in our platform.

Data storage and replication

 Google Cloud offers storage services and databases services such as Bigtable and Spanner. Most Google Cloud applications and services access Google's storage infrastructure indirectly using these cloud services.
 

Data replication is critical to achieving low latency, highly available, scalable, and durable solutions. Redundant copies of customer data can be stored locally and regionally and even globally, depending on your configuration and the demands of your projects. Actions taken on data in Google Cloud may be simultaneously replicated in multiple data centers, so that customer data is highly available. When performance-impacting changes occur in the hardware, software, or network environment, customer data is automatically shifted from one system or facility to another, subject to customers' configuration settings, so that customer projects continue performing at scale and without interruption.
 

At the physical storage level, customer data is stored at rest in two types of systems: active storage systems and backup storage systems. These two types of systems process data differently. Active storage systems are Google Cloud's production servers that run Google's application and storage layers. Active systems are mass arrays of disks and drives used to write new data as well as store and retrieve data in multiple replicated copies. Active storage systems are optimized to perform live read and write operations on customer data at speed and scale.
 

Google's backup storage systems store full and incremental copies of Google's active systems for a defined period of time to help Google recover data and systems in the event of a catastrophic outage or disaster. Unlike active systems, backup systems are designed to receive periodic snapshots of Google systems and backup copies are retired after a limited window of time as new backup copies are made. Throughout the storage systems described above, customer data is encrypted when stored at rest.
