Every couple of years, we update our Terms of Service. We wanted to let you know ahead of time that the next update will be on July 30, 2026.
|
These changes won’t affect the way you use our services, but they should help make it easier for you to understand what to expect from Google — and what we expect from you — as you use our services.
|
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 main data disclosure policy page.
- 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 your content and stop using the services. You can also end your relationship with us at any time, without penalty, by closing your Google Account.
|
Thank you for using Google services!

Remember that your opinion is exactly that. There is no one right way to live your life. No one has some secret knowledge about the truth of every situation. Life is subjective and your beliefs might not hold true for others. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t share them and stand by them. But it does mean that you should recognize – in both blogging and commenting – that your opinion isn’t the be-all-and-end-all of a topic. It’s not so much that you need to alter your writing voice to express this. It’s that you should internalize it so as to better respect the opinions of others.
• Assume the best in others. Remember that people have different writing styles and different ways of communicating. When you’re upset by an opinion, make the assumption that the blogger or commenter didn’t intend to be rude. Ask for clarification when issues come up.
• Always put “constructive” before criticism. If you don’t like someone’s post or comment, explain your reasoning to them and also add what you think would be better. Don’t just say “it sucks” or “you’re stupid”. And if you feel that you must make some sort of attack, make sure the target is the writing and not the writer.
• Be genuine. Blog because you care about the topic. Comment because you have something to say. Many people do blogging for a living and that includes the requirement of leaving comments on other blogs to generate traffic. That’s fine. But don’t use it as an excuse to spam people, to get your keywords into certain spots or to be duplicitous in any way. Start genuine conversations online and you’ll get real traffic.
• Never forget that your words can impact someone. Many people don’t think that their readers are really affected by what they write. That’s not true. Even the smallest blog can influence the buying habits and daily life practices of readers. Don’t forget this when crafting your content.
• Consider creating a blog comment policy for your blogs so that everyone knows what the rules are about respecting each other on your site. An example can be seen in the policy that exists here on our site. And here’s an article on how to create one.
• Always remember that Mom might read it. Or your boss. Or whoever your conscience is in the real world. Think about the fact that anyone in your life could read your blog or comments at any time. If you wouldn’t say the thoughts out loud in front of people, you probably shouldn’t be writing them down for the world to see.
