What this means for you
  • Pieces's terms explicitly protect your inputs from training use — the policy is affirmatively favorable on this point.
  • Your outputs and prompts are explicitly yours — Pieces's terms include affirmatively protective IP language.
  • Data handling is conditional — 3 privacy or retention clauses warrant review before using Pieces at scale.

Cross-clause notes

Cross-reference

Two verified clauses intersect on the same subject matter: the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “Retention of Information” addresses how long content is retained, and the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “Google User Data” addresses use of content in connection with model training or service improvement. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.

Cross-referenceacross documents

The Terms of Service, Terms of Service › “Your Content” describes rights the platform takes in user content, and the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “Sharing Your Personal Information” describes disclosure of data to third parties or subprocessors. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.

Ambiguity — Caution

Verified retention clauses point in different directions: the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “Retention of Information” describes broad or open-ended retention, while the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “Google User Data” describes deletion or erasure. Which clause controls in a given situation is not resolved by the documents' text alone — this is surfaced as an ambiguity, treated as Caution.

Automated cross-reference against the published rubric — not legal advice.
