GOOGLE TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective March 31, 2020 | Archived versions | Download PDF

This page offers a preview of Googleâs new Terms of Service that takes effect on March 31, 2020. Until then, the existing Terms of Service continues to describe the rules you agree to when using our services. For more details, weâve also provided a summary of the key changes. If you donât agree to our new Terms of Service, you can find more information about your options in our Frequently Asked Questions.

Whatâs covered in these terms

We know itâs tempting to skip these Terms of Service, but itâs important to establish what you can expect from us as you use Google services, and what we expect from you.

These Terms of Service reflect the way Googleâs business works, the laws that apply to our company, and certain things weâve always believed to be true. As a result, these Terms of Service help define Googleâs relationship with you as you interact with our services. For example, these terms include the following topic headings:

What you can expect from us, which describes how we provide and develop our services

What we expect from you, which establishes certain rules for using our services

Content in Google services, which describes the intellectual property rights to the content you find in our services â whether that content belongs to you, Google, or others

In case of problems or disagreements, which describes other legal rights you have, and what to expect in case someone violates these terms

Understanding these terms is important because, by using our services, youâre agreeing to these terms.

Besides these terms, we also publish a Privacy Policy. Although itâs not part of these terms, we encourage you to read it to better understand how you can update, manage, export, and delete your information.

Updates to Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy in Europe

Today, we started notifying our users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland about some changes we’re making to how we provide our services. These changes will be reflected in updates to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy that you can read now, but that will come into effect on January 22, 2019.

The first change we’re making is that for users based in the EEA and Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited—based in Dublin, where Google has its European headquarters—will become the “service provider” responsible for most of our consumer services, from Search to Gmail to Maps and beyond. These changes will be reflected in our general Terms of Service, where the “service provider” that offers these services is currently Google LLC, based in the U.S. We are also making similar changes in the separate terms for Drive, Play, Nutzungsbedingungen - YouTube, and Nutzungsbedingungen für kostenpflichtige Dienste - YouTube.

We’re also making a number of updates to Google’s Privacy Policy. The most important of these is that Google Ireland Limited will become the “data controller” legally responsible for EEA and Swiss users’ information. This means that Google Ireland Limited becomes responsible for responding to requests for its user data, including from EU law enforcement, consistent with Irish law. It is also responsible for compliance with applicable privacy laws, including Europe’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We’re making the data controller change to facilitate engagement with EU data protection authorities via the GDPR’s “One Stop Shop” mechanism, which was created to ensure consistency of regulatory decisions for companies and EU citizens.

It’s important to note these changes do not in any way alter how our products work or how we collect or process user data within our services. Nothing changes about your current settings, and you will continue to have granular control over the data you share with us when you use our services. And of course, we remain fully committed to compliance with the GDPR across all of the services we provide in the European Union.
