This is Google Cloud's privacy policy, explaining what personal information Google collects when you use Google Cloud services and developer tools, such as your name, email, billing details, and how you use the platform. The most important thing to know is that if your employer or a company you use deploys a service built on Google Cloud, your data in that service is governed by the business's agreement with Google, not by this notice directly. If you are a direct Google Cloud customer, you can review and adjust your data settings through the Google Account privacy controls at myaccount.google.com.
This document is the Google Cloud Privacy Notice, governing how Google collects, uses, and shares personal information from individuals who interact with Google Cloud services, including cloud.google.com, Google Cloud Platform, and Google Workspace for business customers. The notice states that Google collects account registration data, payment information, usage and diagnostic data, and communications content, and the terms authorize use of this data for service delivery, support, security, billing, and product improvement. A structurally notable provision establishes that customer data uploaded to Google Cloud (defined as 'Customer Data') is processed under the separate Cloud Data Processing Addendum rather than this notice, creating a two-tier privacy framework where end-user protections depend substantially on the contractual choices made by the business customer deploying Google Cloud. The notice engages GDPR and related EU/EEA frameworks, CCPA for California residents, and references Google's broader cross-product privacy infrastructure; applicability of specific rights and obligations depends on user jurisdiction and the type of Google Cloud service being accessed. Compliance teams should note that the notice explicitly defers privacy governance of Customer Data to the data processing agreement executed between Google and the business customer, meaning individuals whose data is processed via a Google Cloud-powered application may have limited direct recourse under this notice.
