This page provides an overview of the support that Access Transparency
provides for Vertex AI Search.
Overview
Access Transparency provides you with logs that capture the actions that Google
personnel take when accessing your content.
Similar to the way audit logs show when members of your organization access
content in your Google Cloud projects, Access Transparency
logs show when Google
personnel take action.
Limitations of Access Transparency in Vertex AI Search
All access to your data in Vertex AI Search by Google personnel is
logged, except for the following:
Multi-region data stores: You must use multi-region data stores and apps
(not global ones).
For more information about multi-regions, including limits
associated with using non-global locations, see
Vertex AI Search locations.
Data associated with preview features: In the documentation, preview
features are marked with disclaimers. In the Google Cloud console,
preview features have preview labels.
Search analytics: Access Transparency logs do not record when Google
personnel view or take action on your analytics data. For general information
about analytics, including how to create a search app where analytics is
disabled, see View analytics.
