## Fonts from Google

> **Fonts from Google:** The fonts under **On every device** use fonts already on the student’s device, so nothing is downloaded. Every other font is a Google font: it is loaded from Google on the student pages of this activity only, and Google receives the student’s IP address as with any web request. The rest of LearnWorkly does not use Google fonts. See the [Privacy Policy](https://learnworkly.com/privacy).
