Unfortunately, a small number of people don’t respect those rules, so we’re describing them here to protect our services and users from abuse. In that spirit: You must not abuse, harm, interfere with, or disrupt our services or systems — for example, by: introducing malware spamming, hacking, or bypassing our systems or protective measures jailbreaking, adversarial prompting, or prompt injection, except as part of our safety and bug testing programs accessing or using our services or content in fraudulent or deceptive ways, such as: phishing creating fake accounts or content, including fake reviews misleading others into thinking that generative AI content was created by a human providing services that appear to originate from you (or someone else) when they actually originate from us providing services that appear to originate from us when they do not using our services (including the content they provide) to violate anyone’s legal rights, such as intellectual property or privacy rights reverse engineering our services or underlying technology, such as our machine learning models, to extract trade secrets or other proprietary information, except as allowed by applicable law using automated means to access content from any of our services in violation of the machine-readable instructions on our web pages (for example, robots.txt files that disallow crawling, training, or other activities) using AI-generated content from our services to develop machine learning models or related AI technology hiding or misrepresenting who you are in order to violate these terms providing services that encourage others to violate these terms

Dates state when our pipeline captured and verified each document — not when the vendor last changed it. Documents are re-scanned on a recurring cadence; a document verified once says so until a re-scan confirms it again.

↓ 73 fewer findings this quarter vs last (79 vs 152). First scan: June 2026.

Need this for procurement or legal diligence?

Free shows today's risk. A Stack Audit gives you a citable, verbatim-sourced PDF across your whole AI stack — and flags the moment a vendor's terms change.

Know where the missing document lives?

We haven't yet verified Google Gemini's Privacy Policy. Point us at the official page and our pipeline will attempt to capture and read it in full. Submissions are candidates only — nothing is published until it passes the same verification gates as every other document on this site.

Every finding above is a verbatim quote from Google Gemini's own published policy, captured to an immutable snapshot and read in full through a two-gate verification pipeline. Confidence labels and any analysis are AI-generated and informational only — not legal advice.
