Watch: Commercial use
Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
Restricts users from removing, obscuring, or altering Google's branding, logos, or legal notices, while permitting use of Google content only within the bounds of the terms, and retaining all intellectual property rights in Google's content.
This clause restricts use of Google AI Studio and Gemini API to developers for professional or business purposes, explicitly excluding consumer use, thereby limiting the permissible user base and purpose.
Restricts use of Grounding with Google Search to applications owned and operated by the user and limits display of Grounded Results with Search Suggestions only to the end user who submitted the prompt, preventing third-party distribution and unauthorized commercial deployment.
Scores derived from 62 enriched findings — same verbatim citations as below. AI-generated, not legal advice.
- Google Gemini API's terms explicitly protect your inputs from training use — the policy is affirmatively favorable on this point.

" You may only access the Services (or make API Clients available to users) within an available region . You may use only Paid Services when making API Clients available to users in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom. "
This clause restricts access to the Services to available regions and mandates that API Clients made available to users in the EEA, Switzerland, or UK must use only Paid Services, creating geographic and tier-based limitations on permissible use.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" This license lasts for as long as your content is protected by intellectual property rights. If you remove from our services any content that’s covered by this license, then our systems will stop making that content publicly available in a reasonable amount of time. There are two exceptions: If you already shared your content with others before removing it. For example, if you shared a photo with a friend who then made a copy of it, or shared it again, then that photo may continue to appear in your friend’s Google Account even after you remove it from your Google Account. If you make your content available through other companies’ services, it’s possible that search engines, including Google Search, will continue to find and display your content as part of their search results."
Limits the duration of the license to the period during which content is protected by intellectual property rights, provides a procedure for cessation of public availability upon content removal, and identifies exceptions where content may remain accessible after removal — including when shared with others or made available through third-party services — thereby defining the boundaries of Google's data retention obligations.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" You will only use Grounding with Google Search in an application that is owned and operated by you and will only display the Grounded Results with the associated Search Suggestion(s) to the end user who submitted the prompt."
Restricts use of Grounding with Google Search to applications owned and operated by the user and limits display of Grounded Results with Search Suggestions only to the end user who submitted the prompt, preventing third-party distribution and unauthorized commercial deployment.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" You will only use Grounding with Google Maps in an application that is owned and operated by you and will only use Grounding with Google Maps to display the Google Maps Grounded Results with the associated Google Maps Links to the end user who initiated the prompt. An end user is an individual you permit to use your application."
Restricts use of Grounding with Google Maps solely to applications owned and operated by the client and only for displaying Google Maps Grounded Results with associated links to the prompting end user, limiting permissible commercial deployment contexts.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" cache or store Google Maps Grounded Results except that you may cache or store Google Maps Grounded Results:"
Restricts caching or storing of Google Maps Grounded Results as a general prohibition, subject to enumerated exceptions in subsequent segments, establishing the default retention restriction.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" distribute or market any Customer Applications in any Prohibited Territory as defined in the Documentation."
Prohibits distributing or marketing Customer Applications in any Prohibited Territory as defined in the Documentation, restricting geographic commercial deployment.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"If you remove from our services any content that’s covered by this license, then our systems will stop making that content publicly available in a reasonable amount of time. There are two exceptions: If you already shared your content with others before removing it. For example, if you shared a photo with a friend who then made a copy of it, or shared it again, then that photo may continue to appear in your friend’s Google Account even after you remove it from your Google Account. If you make your content available through other companies’ services, it’s possible that search engines, including Google Search, will continue to find and display your content as part of their search results."
No specific retention period is defined. The 'reasonable amount of time' standard is subjective. Exceptions for third-party sharing and search indexing can result in permanent residual availability of removed content.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"If you choose to give us feedback, such as suggestions to improve our services, we may act on your feedback without obligation to you."
This clause grants Google unlimited rights to use feedback inputs without any obligation to the user. While standard in the industry, it means users who submit feature suggestions or improvement ideas relinquish all rights to that input.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"to maintain the safety and security of the Services, and any required legal or regulatory disclosures. This data may be stored transiently or cached in any country in which Google or its agents maintain facilities."

" As required by the API Terms, you'll comply with applicable law in using generated content, which may require the provision of attribution to your users when returned as part of an API call. Use discretion before relying on generated content, including code . You're responsible for your use of generated content, and for the use of that content by anyone you share it with."
This clause obligates users to comply with applicable law when using generated content, including attribution requirements, and assigns responsibility to users for their own and third-party use of that generated content, including code.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" If you're in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, the terms under " How Google uses Your Data " in " Paid Services " apply to all Services, including Google AI Studio and unpaid quota in the Gemini API, even though they are offered free of charge."
This clause creates a geographic exception for users in the EEA, Switzerland, or UK, applying the Paid Services data use terms to all Services including free offerings, overriding the default Unpaid Services data use rules for those jurisdictions.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Use of Google AI Studio and Gemini API is for developers building with Google AI models for professional or business purposes, not for consumer use."

Restricts access to services to available regions and further mandates that only Paid Services may be used when making API Clients available to users in specified geographic areas, creating a tiered geographic restriction.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"If you're in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, the terms under " [How Google uses Your Data](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms#data-use-paid)" in " [Paid Services](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms#paid-services)" apply to all Services, including Google AI Studio and unpaid quota in the Gemini API, even though they are offered free of charge."
Creates an exception for users in specified geographic regions whereby the data use terms applicable to Paid Services govern all services — including free-of-charge offerings — overriding the otherwise applicable Unpaid Services data terms for those users.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"" Submission of Content " section in the API Terms also extends, to the extent required under applicable law for our use, to any content (e.g., prompts, including associated system instructions, cached content, and files such as images, videos, or documents) you submit to the Services and to any generated responses."
This clause extends the content submission license from the API Terms to cover all submitted content including prompts, system instructions, cached content, files, and generated responses, granting Google a broad license over user inputs and outputs to the extent required by applicable law for Google's stated uses.
