Find out more about our updated Terms of Service
We’re improving our Terms of Service and making them easier for you to
understand. The changes will take effect on 31 March 2020, and they won’t
impact the way that you use Google services.
For more details, we’ve provided a summary of the key changes
and Frequently asked questions
.
And the next time that you visit Google, you’ll have the chance to review
and accept the new Terms. At a glance, here’s what this update means for
you:
- Improved readability: While our Terms remain a legal document, we’ve done
our best to make them easier to understand, including by adding links to
useful information and providing definitions.
- Better communication: We’ve clearly explained when we’ll make changes to
our services (like adding or removing a feature) and when we’ll restrict or
end a user’s access. And we’ll do more to notify you when a change
negatively impacts your experience on our services. We’ve also described
how we respond to data disclosure requests, such as requests from
government agencies.
- Adding Google Chrome, Google Chrome OS and Google Drive to the Terms: Our
improved Terms now cover Google Chrome, Google Chrome OS and Google Drive,
which also have service-specific terms and policies to help you understand
what’s unique to those services.
- No changes to our privacy policy: We’re not making any changes to the
Google privacy policy
and we haven't made any changes to the way that we treat your information.
As a reminder, you can always visit your Google Account
to review your privacy settings and manage
how your data is used.
If you’re the guardian of a child under the age required to manage their
own Google Account and
you use Family Link to manage
their use of Google services, please note that when you accept our new
Terms, if you allow your child to use the services, then you may be
responsible for your child’s activity on the services.
And of course, if you don’t agree to our new Terms and what we can expect
from each other as you use our services, you can find more information
about your options in our Frequently asked questions
.
Thank you for using Google’s services.
