Locations. You will use Activated Devices only in Google-approved territories and at Google-approved locations (each as described in the Interpreter Mode for Business Policies or as approved by Google in writing on a case by case basis). You will not use any Activated Device where it is likely to be exposed to Protected Health Information (as defined under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended), for example, in medical facilities.

At Google's request, you will prominently display a notice (such as a physical sticker and/or attached card) about each Activated Device, including a statement that its use is subject to the Google Terms of Service (https://policies.google.com/terms) and that Google’s collection and use of information is described in Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). Google will specify the form, substance, and placement of the notice, and may make changes to the notice at any time at its discretion, including to define the product experience or attract attention to the Activated Device.

Translation Sessions. You or your personnel:

  • must be one of the participants in any translation session that uses Activated Devices;

  • will tell the other participants that you are using Interpreter Mode for Business and will place Activated Devices prominently in front of them (with screen or LED lights facing them at all times without obstruction); and

No Interference. You will not interfere, or allow any third party to interfere, with:

  • end users’ queries or instructions (e.g., voice, click, or other input) to Activated Devices (e.g., by processing, routing, or editing the queries);

  • Google’s responses to end users; or

  • any visual or audio terms, policies, or disclaimers that Activated Devices provide to end users.

No Recording or Storage. You will not, and will not allow any third party to, record or store any end user queries or instructions in connection with Activated Devices.
