Same Google data framework as Drive, with the addition that Gemini integration means AI features can process document content. For a professional handling client material - a consultant, a therapist, a lawyer, a nonprofit handling donor records - the question of whether AI processing occurs and under what terms is a compliance question, not a preference, and the answer differs between free consumer accounts and Workspace business accounts. That tier split is the same one documented across the LLM Providers tab: meaningful data protections are a purchasable enterprise feature, and the consumer tier funds the difference.

Terms

Arbitration

Same as Google overall — see the Google/Alphabet row (Consumer Apps tab) for the full framework of major findings ($1.375B Texas settlement, RTB case, Incognito settlement, $425M Firebase jury verdict (post-trial status not verified this pass)) that apply across Google's entire product family.

Data sharing

Same overall Google data framework applies; Google's AI features (Gemini integration) can process document content for suggestions/summarization, raising the general question of how document content is used for model improvement absent an explicit opt-out.
