The Gemini API Additional Terms of Service state that for Paid Services, Google does not use prompts or responses to improve its products, and logs them for a limited period solely to detect Prohibited Use Policy violations without stating a specific number of days. Zero data retention is available on request per project. Unpaid use, including Google AI Studio and the free quota, is used to develop Google products and may be reviewed by human annotators. HIPAA BAA, SOC 2, and FedRAMP coverage are published for Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise, not for this first-party Developer API surface, so they are not claimed here.
