Looker Studio Terms of Service

Version: November 30, 2023

These Looker Studio Terms of Service (“Agreement”) are entered into by Google and the entity or person agreeing to these terms (“Customer”). This Agreement is effective as of the date you click to accept these terms (the "Effective Date").

If you are accepting on behalf of Customer, you represent and warrant that (i) you have full legal authority to bind Customer to this Agreement; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of Customer, to this Agreement.

Certain Customers may choose to have their use of the Service be governed by the Customer’s Google Cloud Platform Agreement, as described in the Google Cloud Platform Agreement. Such choice by the Customer will supersede any prior acceptance of this Agreement by Customer. If you are an End User managed by an Administrator for a Customer who has made such a choice, this Agreement will not apply to you and the Google Cloud Platform Agreement will govern your use of the Services.

This Agreement does not apply to your use of Looker Studio Pro, which is made available under the Google Cloud Platform Agreement.

1. Services.

1.1 Facilities and Data Transfer. All facilities used to store and process Customer Data will adhere to reasonable security standards no less protective than the security standards at facilities where Google stores and processes its own information of a similar type. Google has implemented at least industry standard systems and procedures to ensure the security and confidentiality of Customer Data, protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Customer Data and protect against unauthorized access to or use of Customer Data. As part of providing the Service, Google may transfer, store and process Customer Data in the United States or any other country in which Google or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer, processing and storage of Customer Data. For clarity, each party will (where applicable) comply with the obligations set out in the Data Processing Agreement relating to the transfer, storage and processing of Customer Data in the United States or any other country in which Google or its agents maintain facilities.

1.2 Beta Features. Subject to Section 10, Google will have no liability under this Agreement (including any indemnification obligations) arising out of or related to any use of Beta Features by Customer or its End Users. Any use of Beta Features is voluntary and will be solely at Customer’s own risk and may be subject to additional requirements as specified by Google. Google may cease providing Beta Features as part of the Service. Customer may not disclose any information from Beta Features or the terms or existence of any non-public Beta Features.

2. Customer Obligations.

2.1 Compliance. Customer must ensure that all use of the Service by Customer and its End Users complies with this Agreement and the Acceptable Use Policy. Customer warrants that it is authorized to act on behalf of its End Users and that Customer will be responsible for the actions or omissions of its End Users.

2.2 Customer Administration of the Service. Customer (and its Administrators, if applicable) will have the ability to access all of Customer’s Customer Data, including the ability to access, monitor, use, modify, withhold, or disclose any data available to End Users. Customer will obtain and maintain all required consents from its End Users to allow (a) Customer’s access, monitoring, use and disclosure of this data and (b) Google to provide the Service and use the Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement. Customer agrees that Google’s responsibilities do not extend to the internal management or administration of the Service for Customer and that Google is merely a data processor.

2.3 Use of other Google Services or Products. Google may make Google products or services that are not offered as part of the Service (or data or content collected or derived from use of such Google products or services) accessible by or available to you and/or your End Users in the Service. Unless noted otherwise, Google products or services continue to be subject to the applicable terms of service or agreement with Google for such products or services. Certain data management functionalities within the Service may require the storage of Customer Data in Google Cloud Storage ("GCS"). If so, Customer agrees to the use of GCS in connection with such storage. If you delete Customer Data which is stored in GCS, such Customer Data will be deleted in the Service within a commercially reasonable time frame. With respect to such Customer Data in GCS, Google reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to (a) limit storage size (e.g., file size limitations) and (b) suspend or terminate your use of such data management functionalities and GCS in connection with your use of the Service. Customer has all necessary rights to (i) submit, use and process Customer Data under this Agreement and (ii) authorize the use of the Service in connection with GCS as applicable.

2.4 Unauthorized Use. Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized use of the Service and to terminate any unauthorized use. Customer will promptly notify Google of any unauthorized use of or access to the Service of which it becomes aware. Unless Google specifically agrees in writing, Customer will not, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to make sure End Users and/or third parties do not: (a) sell, resell, lease or the functional equivalent, the Service to a third party (unless expressly authorized in this Agreement); (b) attempt to reverse engineer the Service or any component; (c) attempt to create a substitute or similar service through use of, or access to, the Service; (d) use the Service for High Risk Activities; (e) use the Service to store or transfer any Data that is controlled for export under Export Control Laws; or (f) use the Service on behalf of or for the benefit of any entity or person who is prohibited from using the Service by applicable laws or regulations. Credentials (such as passwords, keys, and client IDs) used to access the Service are intended to be used only by the individual issued such credentials. Customer will and will ensure that all End Users and/or third parties keep credentials confidential and make reasonable efforts to prevent and discourage unauthorized use of such credentials. Customer is solely responsible for any applicable compliance with HIPAA or any similarly applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Customer will not, and will not allow End Users or third parties under its control to transmit, store, or process health information subject to the United States HIPAA regulations unless Customer has received prior written consent from Google (including as agreed to, and permitted by, an executed HIPAA Business Associate Agreement covering the Service). From June 28, 2022 Customer will not be able to execute a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement covering the Service in connection with this Agreement (previously executed HIPAA Business Associate Agreement between Customer and Google remain unaffected by this sentence) and may only execute a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement covering the Service in connection with Customer’s Google Cloud Platform Agreement.

2.5 Third Party Requests. Customer is responsible for responding to Third Party Requests. Google will, to the extent allowed by law and by the terms of the Third Party Request: (a) promptly notify Customer of its receipt of a Third Party Request; (b) comply with Customer’s reasonable requests regarding its efforts to oppose a Third Party Request; and (c) provide Customer with the information or tools reasonably required for Customer to respond to the Third Party Request. Customer will first seek to obtain the information required to respond to the Third Party Request on Customer’s own and will contact Google only if Customer cannot reasonably obtain such information.

2.6 Data Processing. Each party agrees that provision and use of the Service is subject to the Data Processing Agreement, and the parties will comply with the Data Processing Agreement with respect to the Service to the extent applicable.

3. Confidential Information. The recipient will not disclose the Confidential Information, except to employees, Affiliates, agents, or professional advisors who need to know it and who have agreed in writing (or in the case of professional advisors are otherwise bound) to keep it confidential. The recipient will ensure that those people and entities use the Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under this Agreement, and that they keep it confidential. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) becomes public through no fault of the recipient; (b) was independently developed by the recipient; or (c) was rightfully given to the recipient by another party without confidentiality obligations. The recipient may also disclose Confidential Information when required by court order, law or governmental or regulatory agency (after, if permitted, giving reasonable notice to Customer and using commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with the opportunity to seek a protective order or the equivalent (at Customer’s expense)).

4. Customer Data. Subject to Section 1.2 (Beta Features) and Section 2.1 (Compliance), Google will not access or use Customer Data, except (a) as necessary to provide the Service, (b) if and as required by court order, law or governmental or regulatory agency (after, if permitted, giving reasonable notice to Customer and using commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with the opportunity to seek a protective order or the equivalent (at Customer’s expense)), or (c) as otherwise instructed by Customer. If requested by Customer or its End Users, Google may also access or use Customer Data to provide technical support in connection with the Service. Customer will, and will ensure that its End Users, receive all necessary and legally required consents to upload any personal data to the Service and to permit the processing of data provided to Google via the Service under this Agreement. Customer Data does not include service data collected or generated by Google during the provision or administration of the Service, such as technical or operational settings, usage or configurations, or other metadata.

5. Intellectual Property Rights. Except as expressly stated, this Agreement does not grant either party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other’s content or any of the other’s intellectual property.
