Further Resources for Understanding Why Google Needs Student Data

The Google Workspace for Education Privacy Notice describes how Google products and services collect and use information when used with Google Workspace for Education accounts.  

Information about the legal commitments Google makes for Google Workspace for Education Core and Additional Services is available in their Help Center.

Information about how Google’s products work to protect privacy is available in their Product Privacy Guide and at privacy.google.com. Note that Google does not use any user personal information (or any information associated with a Google Workspace for Education Account) to target ads for Google Workspace for Education users in primary and secondary (K–12) schools or those users designated as under 18 by their administrator, and any statements about ads on those pages are overridden by this restriction from our Privacy Notice.

Information about Google's compliance with international legal obligations on data protection can be seen in the Cloud Data Processing Addendum which describes extensive measures for data security that Google and its customers have agreed to.

Answers to many top questions about privacy and security appear on their Google for Education Privacy and Security Center.
