Assessment

Cloud platform: low

Reasoning: Google Cloud's model platform, covering Gemini and partner models under the customer's own project. No training on customer data, regional endpoints including EU locations, and zero data retention available by configuration. Traffic to this endpoint is a company cloud project rather than a personal account.

Flags: Regional endpoints · Abuse logging unless zero data retention configured · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
