of the key changes to the EEA version of our terms.
At a glance, here’s what this update means for you:
In general:
We added a section to help you better understand why our services may
access the internet when not actively engaged, to encourage you to check
your Internet service plan and your device and network settings, as each of
those may affect your costs.
We updated and clarified our Settling disputes, governing law, and courts
section.
We make it clearer how various sections in our terms relate to each other.
If you’re based in the EEA:
In addition to the changes in the In general section, we updated various
sections to reflect the latest EEA laws and regulations that apply to our
services, including:
Google’s obligation to make legally-required updates to our digital
content, services, and goods.
A new, online “withdrawal button” in the EEA instructions on withdrawal
section.
We also removed the Handling requests for your data section, because we’re
centralizing our data disclosure language on our

If you’re based outside the EEA:
In addition to the changes in the In general section, we added new
disclosures and disclaimers, including ones about AI outputs.
If you’re based in India, we also added new reporting language about our
obligations if you violate applicable law.
If you’re a parent or guardian, and you allow your child to use the
services, please review the updates to our terms with your child and help
them decide whether they need to make any changes to their account. Please
remember that these terms apply to you and you’re responsible for your
child’s activity on the services.
If you don’t agree to the new terms, you should remove
