Just received this via email and I’m taking a hard pass, not because I’m doing anything wrong but simply because it’s too easy to be wrongly flagged:
We’re writing to let you know about two recent updates to Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service which will be effective starting November 15, 2024.
We’ve provided additional information below to help you understand the specific changes implemented.
What you need to know
We added new terms and updated the following Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service:
We added terms for logging customer prompts due to potential abuse of Generative AI Services. Effective November 15, 2024, if our automated safety tools detect potential abuse of Google’s policies, we may log your prompts to review and determine if a violation has occurred. You can review the updated section to the Google Cloud Terms of Service, below. Section 4. Suspension:
“4.3 Generative AI Safety and Abuse. Google uses automated safety tools to detect abuse of Generative AI Services. Notwithstanding the “Handling of Prompts and Generated Output” section in the Service Specific Terms, if these tools detect potential abuse or violations of Google’s AUP or Prohibited Use Policy, Google may log Customer prompts solely for the purpose of reviewing and determining whether a violation has occurred. See the Abuse Monitoring page for more information about how logging prompts impacts your use of the Services.”
SecOps services are now covered by the Google Cloud Terms of Service. You do not need to agree to any additional terms of service when you purchase SecOps services. We have updated various provisions to align the Google Cloud Terms of Service with the previous SecOps terms. We added Section 14 (Resold Customers), which applies only if you purchase SecOps services through a reseller. In addition, we have made the following updates:
Section 1.4 Updates. We clarified how we notify you about updates to the Services and legal terms. We also removed outdated practices. Section 2.1 Billing. We clarified when you need to pay if you use a credit card or receive an invoice. Section 8.2 Termination for Breach. We added a section for terminating individual order forms if you breach the terms. Section 9 Publicity. We clarified that neither Google nor you can issue a press release or similar public statement about your use of the services without the other party’s permission. Note: If you sign up for SecOps after October 16, 2024, you will automatically agree to the new terms.
What you need to do
No action is required from you. This update will be effective starting November 15, 2024.
To learn more about the specific changes, please review the updated terms. You can find the previous versions at the bottom of the relevant term pages.
