Does Google look at or use the text I send to the Cloud Natural Language API?
Google does not use any of your content (such as text sent for
analysis) for any purpose except to provide you with the Cloud Natural
Language API service.
Will Google share the text I send to the Cloud Natural Language API?
We will not make the content of the text that you send available to the
public, or share it with anyone else, except as necessary to provide the
Cloud Natural Language API service. For example, sometimes we may need to use
a third-party vendor to help us provide some aspect of our services, such as
storage or transmission of data; that vendor will be under appropriate
security and confidentiality contractual obligations. We won't share the
text that you send with any other parties, or make it public, for any other
purpose.
Will the text I send to the Cloud Natural Language API, the results, or other
information about the request itself, be stored on Google servers? If so,
how long and where is the information kept, and do I have access to it?
When you send text to Cloud Natural Language API, Google processes it in memory and
does not store any customer data. Google temporarily logs some metadata about
your Cloud Natural Language API requests (such as the time the request was received
and the size of the request) to improve our service and combat abuse.
How does Google protect and ensure the security of the data I send to
Cloud Natural Language API?
Please refer to the Google Cloud Platform Security
page which describes the security measures in place for Google’s Cloud
Services.
Does Google use my data for improving Google Natural Language support?
Currently, Google does not use the content you send to train and improve
our Google Natural Language features such as its machine analysis model.
Does Google claim ownership of the content I send in the request to the
Cloud Natural Language API?
Google does not claim any ownership in any of the content (including
text and labels) that you transmit to the Cloud Natural Language API.
Can I resell the Cloud Natural Language API?
No, you are not permitted to resell the Cloud Natural Language API
service. You can still integrate Cloud Natural Language API into
applications of independent value.
