transactions.
We keep reasonable
business records of charges, payments, and billing
details and issues.
Cloud settings and configurations.
We
record your configuration and settings, including
resource identifiers and attributes, and service and
security settings for data and other resources.
Technical and operational details of your
usage of Cloud Services.
We collect
information about usage, operational status, software

device identifiers, identifiers from cookies or tokens,
and IP addresses.
Your direct communications.
We keep
records of your communications and interactions with us
and our partners (for example, when you provide
feedback, ask questions or seek technical support).
Google processes Service Data for the following purposes:
Provide Cloud Services you request.
We use Service Data primarily to deliver the Cloud
Services that you and our customers request. This
includes processing Service Data as needed to conduct
checks before extending credit to certain customers, to
bill for the Cloud Services used, to ensure those
services are delivered or working as intended, to detect
and avoid outages or other technical problems, and to
secure your data and services.
Make recommendations to optimize use of Cloud
Services.
We use Service Data to provide you
and our customers with recommendations (for example,
suggesting ways to better secure your account or data,
reduce service charges or improve performance, or
optimize your configurations), and providing information
about new or related products and features. We also
evaluate your responses to our recommendations and other
feedback (if you choose to provide it).
Maintain and improve Cloud Services.
We evaluate Service Data to help us improve the
performance and functionality of Cloud Services. As we
improve Cloud Services for you, this will improve them
for our customers, and vice versa.
Provide and improve other services you
request.
We use Service Data to deliver and
improve other services that you and our customers
request, including Google or third-party services that
are enabled via the Cloud Services, administrative
consoles, application programming interfaces (APIs) or
command line interfaces (CLIs), or the Google
Workspace Marketplace.
Assist you.
We use Service Data to
provide technical support for Cloud Services that you
and our customers request, and to assess whether we have
met your needs. We also use Service Data to improve our
technical support, inform you and our customers about
updates to Cloud Services and send other notifications
relating to Cloud Services.
Protect you, our users,
customers,
the public, and Google.
We use Service Data
to detect, prevent and respond to fraud, abuse, security
risks, and technical issues that could harm you, other
users, our customers, the public, or Google. This
helps make our services safer, more reliable, and more
secure.
Comply with legal obligations.
We use
Service Data to comply with our legal obligations (for
example, where we’re responding to legal process or an
enforceable governmental request, or meeting our
financial record-keeping obligations).
To achieve these processing purposes, we use algorithms
to recognize patterns in Service Data, manual review of
Service Data (such as when you interact directly with our
billing or support teams), aggregation or anonymization of
Service Data to eliminate personal information, and
combination of Service Data with information from other
Google products and services. We also use Service Data for
internal reporting and analysis of applicable product and
business operations.
Please note, if your organization has entered into our
Google Workspace for Education Service Data Addendum
:
your organization will process Service Data collected
or generated from Google Workspace for Education, as a
controller, for purposes it is required to disclose to
you separately; and
Google’s processing purposes listed above will not
apply to you. The purposes that apply to you are
described in the
Supplemental Google Cloud Privacy Notice
.
Please visit that link to learn more.
We maintain data centers around the world, and provide
Google Workspace (including Google Workspace for
Education) and Cloud Identity (when sold separately) from
these locations
,
and Google Cloud Platform from
these locations
.
Service Data may be processed on servers located outside
of the country where our users and customers are located
because Service Data is typically processed by centralized
or regionalized operations like billing, support, and
security.
Regardless of where Service Data is processed, we apply
the same protections described in this Privacy Notice.
When transferring Service Data outside of the European
Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, we comply with
certain
legal frameworks
.
We build Cloud Services with strong security features to
protect your data. The insights we gain from providing our
services help us detect and automatically block security
threats from ever reaching you.
We work hard to protect the Service Data we hold from
unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure,
or destruction, including by:
Encrypting Service Data at rest and while in transit
between our facilities.
Regularly reviewing our Service Data collection,
storage, and processing practices, including our
physical security measures, to prevent unauthorized
access to our systems; and
Restricting access to Service Data to Google
employees, contractors, and agents who need it in order
to process Service Data for us. Anyone with this access
is subject to strict contractual confidentiality
obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they
fail to meet these obligations.
We instruct our affiliates to process Service Data for
the purposes listed under
"
Why We Process Service Data
"
above, in compliance with this Privacy Notice and
appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We do not share Service Data with companies,
organizations, or individuals outside of Google except in
the following cases:
When you procure third-party services
We share Service Data outside
of Google when you or our customer choose(s) to procure a
third-party service through Google Cloud Platform, the
Google Cloud Platform Marketplace or the Google Workspace
Marketplace, or use a third-party application that
requests access to your Service Data.
With your consent
We’ll share Service Data
outside of Google where we have obtained your consent.
With your administrators and authorized resellers
When you use Cloud Services,
your administrator and resellers authorized to manage your
or your organization’s account will have access to certain
Service Data. For example, they may be able to:
View account and billing information, activity and
statistics
Change your account password
Suspend or terminate your account access
Access your account information in order to
satisfy applicable law, regulation, legal process,
or enforceable governmental request
Restrict your ability to delete or edit your
information or your privacy settings
For external processing
We do not sell your Service
Data to any third parties.
We share Service Data with
trusted third party providers to process it for us as we
instruct them and in compliance with this Privacy Notice
and appropriate confidentiality and security measures. In
particular, we share Service Data with our third party
providers when you request technical support services (we
share the information you provide in the support ticket,
and those providers may communicate with you or your
administrator in that ticket, including providing updates
and closing the ticket) and professional services (we
share your contact details to enable communication and
collaboration).
For legal reasons
We share Service Data outside
of Google when we have a good-faith belief that access to,
or disclosure that Service Data is reasonably necessary
to:
Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal
process, or enforceable governmental request. We
share information about the number and type of
requests we receive from governments in
our
Transparency Report
.
Enforce applicable agreements, including
investigation of potential violations.
Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud,
security, or technical issues.
Protect against harm to the rights, property or
safety of Google, our customers, users, and the
public as required or permitted by law.
If Google is involved in a
reorganization, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets,
we’ll continue to ensure the confidentiality of Service
Data and give affected users notice before Service Data
becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Your organization may allow you to access and export your
data in order to back it up or transfer it to a service
outside of Google. Some Google Cloud Services enable you
to directly access and download the data you have stored
in the services. As further described in our
Google Workspace Data Subject Requests Guide
,
you or your organization may use various tools to access,
control, and export your data.
You and your organization’s administrator can access
several types of Service Data directly from Google Cloud,
including your account information, billing contact
information, payment and transaction information, as well
as product and communication settings and configurations.
If you’re otherwise unable to access your Service Data,
you can always request it
here
.
We retain Service Data for different periods of time
depending on the type of data, how we use it, and how you
configure your settings. When we no longer need Service
Data, we delete or anonymize it.
For each type of Service Data and processing operation,
we set retention timeframes based on the purposes for
which we process it, and ensure that the Service Data is
kept for no longer than necessary. We retain most types of
Service Data for a set period of up to 180 days (the exact
number depends on the specific type of data). However,
some Service Data may be kept for longer periods where
there is a business need. We generally have longer
retention periods (which can be over a year) for Service
Data that is kept for the following purposes:
Security, fraud and abuse prevention.
We retain
Service Data when it is necessary to protect against
fraudulent attempts to gain access to user accounts, or
to investigate violations of applicable Cloud Services
agreements. Usually, the Service Data retained where
there is reason to suspect fraud or abuse would include
device identifiers, identifiers from cookies or tokens,
and IP addresses, as well as log data about usage of the
Cloud Services.
Complying with legal or regulatory requirements.
We
retain Service Data when required by an enforceable
legal process, such as when Google receives a lawful
subpoena.
Complying with tax, accounting or financial requirements.
When Google processes a payment for you, or when you
make a payment to Google, we retain Service Data about
those transactions (including billing information),
typically for a minimum of five years, as required for
tax or accounting purposes, or to comply with applicable
financial regulations.
At the end of the applicable retention period, we follow
detailed protocols to make sure that the Service Data is
securely and completely deleted from our active systems
(the servers Google uses to run applications and store
data) or retained only in anonymized form. After
completion of these steps, copies of Service Data will
remain for a limited period in our encrypted backup
systems (which we maintain to protect Service Data from
accidental or malicious deletion and for outage and
disaster recovery purposes), before being overwritten by
new backup copies.
Your Google Account is your connection to all Google
products and services, not just Cloud Services. When you
choose to use Google products and services outside of
Cloud Services,
the
Google Privacy Policy
describes how your personal information (including your
Google Account profile information) is collected and used.
You and your administrator can control which other Google
services you may use while logged into a Google Account
managed by your organization.
If you interact with Cloud Services using a Google
Account managed by your organization, then your personal
information may be subject to your organization’s privacy
policies and processes, and you should direct privacy
inquiries to your organization.
Exercising your data protection rights
If European Union (EU), UK or Swiss data protection law
applies to the processing of Service Data relating to you,
you have certain rights, including the rights to access,
correct, delete and export your Service Data, and to
object to or request that we restrict processing of your
Service Data.
Google Cloud EMEA Ltd will be the data controller
responsible for your Service Data. However, where our
customer has entered into an agreement covering Cloud
Services with a different Google affiliate, that affiliate
will be the data controller responsible for processing
your Service Data in connection with billing for the Cloud
Services only.
If you want to exercise your data protection rights with
regard to Service Data we process in accordance with this
Privacy Notice, and you are not able to do so via the
tools available to you or your organization’s
administrator, you can contact Google via our
Privacy Help Center
.
You can always contact your local data protection
authority if you have concerns regarding your rights under
local law.
