Assessment

Personal Google account: mediumGoogle Workspace account: low

Reasoning: A research notebook that answers from uploaded documents. On Workspace accounts uploads are not reviewed or used for training and sit under the organisation's Workspace terms. On personal accounts the same no-training rule applies except when feedback is submitted, but the documents live in a consumer Google account outside company control.

Flags: Personal-account use puts company documents in a consumer account · Feedback submissions expose the full interaction to review · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
