The record

JavaScript integration: Charts are commonly embedded in a webpage using JavaScript, a chart object, and a matching div element.
Chart gallery: The chart gallery includes ready-to-use chart types ranging from line charts to hierarchical treemaps.
Customization: Charts can be customized to fit a website’s look and feel.
Interactions and dashboards: Charts expose events that can connect charts into dashboards or other webpage experiences.

Integrations: The Chart Tools Datasource protocol is implemented by Google Spreadsheets, Google Fusion Tables, and third-party providers such as Salesforce.
Offline and hosting limit: Interactive charts require access to Google's gstatic loader, and the terms do not allow downloading or locally hosting the visualization code.
Data privacy: Google says chart data sent to its servers for rendering is kept briefly for debugging and then discarded, and is not shared except for limited legal exceptions.

Support: Google provides a user discussion forum and an issue tracker for suggestions to its developer team.
