Google Nest removed nine sentences of marketing and product feature descriptions from their Terms of Service on July 1, 2026. These removed sentences described smart home products like Yale locks, mesh Wi-Fi, Google Home app functionality, and various automation capabilities. The removal appears to be editorial cleanup rather than a substantive change to user rights or obligations, as the sentences functioned as promotional examples rather than terms governing user conduct or data practices.
This change does not materially affect the terms under which consumers operate. The removed language consisted of marketing descriptions and product feature examples rather than provisions governing user rights, data handling, or service terms. The underlying terms of service remain substantively unchanged.
