Abuse monitoring
Google is committed to the responsible development and use of AI. To ensure the
safety and integrity of the Gemini API, we have created these policy guidelines.
By using the Gemini API, you agree to the following guidelines, the Gemini API
Additional Terms of Service and Generative AI Prohibited
Use Policy.
How We Monitor for Misuse
Google's Trust and Safety Team employs a combination of automated and manual
processes to detect potential misuse of the Gemini API and Google AI Studio
in order to enforce our policies.
Automated Detection: Automated systems scan API usage for violations of
our Prohibited Use Policy, such as hate speech, harassment, sexually
explicit content, and dangerous content.
Manual Detection: If a project consistently exhibits suspicious
activity, it may be flagged for manual review by authorized Google
personnel.
How We Handle Data
Google retains the following data for fifty-five
(55) days for the purposes of detecting and preventing violations of the
Prohibited Use Policy to maintain the safety and security of the Services, and
any required legal or regulatory disclosures:
Prompts: The text prompts you submit to the API.
Contextual Information: Any additional context you provide with your
prompts.
Output: The responses generated by the Gemini API.
How We Investigate Potential Issues
When prompts or model outputs are flagged by safety filters and abuse detection
systems described above, authorized Google employees may assess the flagged
content, and either confirm or correct the classification or determination based
on predefined guidelines and policies. Data can be accessed for human review
only by authorized Google employees via an internal governance assessment and
review management platform. When data is logged for abuse monitoring, it is used
solely for the purpose of policy enforcement and preventing policy violations.
It is not used to train or fine-tune any AI/ML models besides those used
specifically for policy enforcement.
Working with You on Policy Compliance
If your use of Gemini doesn't align with our policies, we may take the following
steps:
Get in touch: We may reach out to you through email to understand your
use case and explore ways to bring your usage into compliance.
Temporary usage limits: We may limit your access to the Gemini API by
adjusting rate limits or changing which model answers a specific request,
for example.
Temporary suspension: We may temporarily pause your access to the Gemini
API.
Account closure: As a last resort, and for serious violations, we may
permanently close your access to the Gemini API and other Google services.
If we reach out to you regarding a suspension or account closure, we will also
provide a link where you can appeal.
Scope
These policy guidelines apply to the use of the Gemini API and AI Studio.
