The chrome settings page links to https://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180655&p=settings_instant_policy https://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&an... , which links to http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/update-to-google-suggest.html http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/update-to-google-sugg... . If I remember correctly, the default configuration of Chrome is to have prediction enabled and Chrome Instant disabled, so the relevant section of the policy is: """Whenever you pause while typing in the address bar, the text you've typed is sent to Google so predictions can be retrieved. Google logs a random two percent of these requests in order to help improve the service. This information is anonymized within 24 hours. """
