Google Issue Tracker Service Specific Terms

In addition to the Google Terms of Service, the following additional terms apply to your use of Google Issue Tracker. Google may make changes to this policy from time to time.

  1. Your Content in Google Issue Tracker. Google Issue Tracker is a service that allows you to collaborate and interact directly with Google on projects as well as submit issues and information to Google. Google Issue Tracker permits you and other users to upload, submit, store, send or receive information and other content (collectively, "Content"). When you use Google Issue Tracker to upload, submit, store, send or receive Content, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such Content for the purposes of collaborating on Google projects; reviewing and responding to user submissions; operating and improving existing Google services and operations, and developing new ones; and protecting Google, its services, operations, and users. This license continues even if you stop using Google Issue Tracker. Administrators and users may set the view and access privileges to certain issues. This may mean your email address and Content may be visible to other users who are authorized to access that issue and your access to issues may sometimes be limited.
  2. Inappropriate Content.
    1. Do not submit any of the following Content to Google using Google Issue Tracker:
      1. Sensitive Personal Information: Do not submit highly sensitive personal information such as financial account numbers, credit card numbers, drivers license or national identification numbers, medical or healthcare information, or similar forms of sensitive personal data.

We don't allow Content that harms or interferes with Google’s or any other party’s networks, servers, or other infrastructure.

  4. Confidentiality. If Confidential Information is shared between You and Google as a result of Your use of Google Issue Tracker, the recipient will not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information, except to employees, affiliates, agents, or professional advisors (“Delegates”) who need to know it and who have a legal obligation to keep it confidential. The recipient will ensure that its Delegates are also subject to the same non-disclosure and use obligations. The recipient may disclose Confidential Information when required by law after giving reasonable notice to the discloser, if permitted by law. For purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means information that one party discloses to the other party during Your use of Google Issue Tracker, and that is marked as confidential or would normally be considered confidential information under the circumstances. It does not include information that is independently developed by the recipient, is rightfully given to the recipient by a third party without confidentiality obligations, or becomes public through no fault of the recipient.
