Data protection
If you access, use or process personal information made available by Google that directly or indirectly identifies an individual, and that originated in the European Union, then you must do the following:
- Comply with all privacy, data security and data protection laws, directives, regulations and rules in any applicable jurisdiction.
- Use or access Personal Information only for purposes consistent with the consent obtained by the individual to whom the Personal Information relates.
- Implement appropriate organisational and technical measures to protect the Personal Information against loss, misuse and unauthorised or unlawful access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
- Provide the same level of protection as required by the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield principles.
You’ll regularly monitor your compliance with this obligation and immediately notify Google in writing if you can no longer meet (or if there is a significant risk that you can no longer meet) this obligation. In such cases, you’ll either cease processing personal information or immediately take other reasonable and appropriate steps to remedy the failure to provide an adequate level of protection.
