ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Parents and guardians should be aware that Gemini is not a children's service and that allowing a minor to use it independently may not be compliant with these terms or applicable child protection laws.

Interpretive note: The provision does not specify technical age verification requirements, and the adequacy of relying on parental consent alone may vary by jurisdiction and regulatory framework.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement states that users may not use Gemini to generate content that facilitates real-world harm, including violent, deceptive, or sexually exploitative material, and that Google may suspend or terminate access for violations. The policy also states that users should not rely on Gemini outputs for medical, legal, financial, or safety-critical decisions without qualified human review. You can review the full list of prohibited use categories at https://policies.google.com/terms/generative-ai/use-policy to determine whether your use case is covered.
