||||
# Gemini CLI: License, Terms of Service, and Privacy Notices
|
||||
|
||||
Gemini CLI is an open-source tool that lets you interact with Google's powerful
|
||||
language models directly from your command-line interface. The Terms of Service
|
||||
and Privacy Notices that apply to your usage of the Gemini CLI depend on the
|
||||
type of account you use to authenticate with Google.
|
||||
AI services directly from your command-line interface. The Gemini CLI software
|
||||
is licensed under the [Apache 2.0 license](/LICENSE). When you use Gemini CLI to
|
||||
access or use Google’s services, the Terms of Service and Privacy Notices
|
||||
applicable to those services apply to such access and use.
|
||||
|
||||
This article outlines the specific terms and privacy policies applicable for
|
||||
different account types and authentication methods. Note: See
|
||||
[quotas and pricing](./quota-and-pricing.md) for the quota and pricing details
|
||||
that apply to your usage of the Gemini CLI.
|
||||
Your Gemini CLI Usage Statistics are handled in accordance with Google's Privacy
|
||||
Policy.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to determine your authentication method
|
||||
**Note:** See [quotas and pricing](/docs/quota-and-pricing.md) for the quota and
|
||||
pricing details that apply to your usage of the Gemini CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported authentication methods
|
||||
|
||||
Your authentication method refers to the method you use to log into and access
|
||||
the Gemini CLI. There are four ways to authenticate:
|
||||
Google’s services with Gemini CLI. Supported authentication methods include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Logging in with your Google account to Gemini Code Assist for individuals
|
||||
- Logging in with your Google account to Gemini Code Assist for Standard, or
|
||||
Enterprise Users
|
||||
- Using an API key with Gemini Developer
|
||||
- Using an API key with Vertex AI GenAI API
|
||||
- Logging in with your Google account to Gemini Code Assist.
|
||||
- Using an API key with Gemini Developer API.
|
||||
- Using an API key with Vertex AI GenAI API.
|
||||
|
||||
For each of these four methods of authentication, different Terms of Service and
|
||||
Privacy Notices may apply.
|
||||
The Terms of Service and Privacy Notices applicable to the aforementioned Google
|
||||
services are set forth in the table below.

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for the Gemini CLI
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Is my code, including prompts and answers, used to train Google's models?
|
||||
|
||||
Whether your code, including prompts and answers, is used to train Google's
|
||||
models depends on the type of authentication method you use and your account
|
||||
type.
|
||||
|
||||
By default (if you have not opted out):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Google account with Gemini Code Assist for individuals**: Yes. When you use
|
||||
your personal Google account, the
|
||||
[Gemini Code Assist Privacy Notice for individuals](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/resources/privacy-notice-gemini-code-assist-individuals)
|
||||
applies. Under this notice, your **prompts, answers, and related code are
|
||||
collected** and may be used to improve Google's products, including for model
|
||||
training.
|
||||
- **Google account with Gemini Code Assist for Standard, or Enterprise**: No.
|
||||
For these accounts, your data is governed by the
|
||||
[Gemini Code Assist Privacy Notices](https://cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/codeassist/security-privacy-compliance#standard_and_enterprise_data_protection_and_privacy)
|
||||
terms, which treat your inputs as confidential. Your **prompts, answers, and
|
||||
related code are not collected** and are not used to train models.
|
||||
- **Gemini API key via the Gemini Developer API**: Whether your code is
|
||||
collected or used depends on whether you are using an unpaid or paid service.
|
||||
- **Unpaid services**: Yes. When you use the Gemini API key via the Gemini
|
||||
Developer API with an unpaid service, the
|
||||
[Gemini API Terms of Service - Unpaid Services](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms#unpaid-services)
|
||||
terms apply. Under this notice, your **prompts, answers, and related code
|
||||
are collected** and may be used to improve Google's products, including for
|
||||
model training.
|
||||
- **Paid services**: No. When you use the Gemini API key via the Gemini
|
||||
Developer API with a paid service, the
|
||||
[Gemini API Terms of Service - Paid Services](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms#paid-services)
|
||||
terms apply, which treats your inputs as confidential. Your **prompts,
|
||||
answers, and related code are not collected** and are not used to train
|
||||
models.
|
||||
- **Gemini API key via the Vertex AI GenAI API**: No. For these accounts, your
|
||||
data is governed by the

|
||||
|
||||
### 2. What are Usage Statistics and what does the opt-out control?
|
||||
|
||||
The **Usage Statistics** setting is the single control for all optional data
|
||||
collection in the Gemini CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
The data it collects depends on your account and authentication type:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Google account with Gemini Code Assist for individuals**: When enabled, this
|
||||
setting allows Google to collect both anonymous telemetry (for example,
|
||||
commands run and performance metrics) and **your prompts and answers,
|
||||
including code,** for model improvement.
|
||||
- **Google account with Gemini Code Assist for Standard, or Enterprise**: This
|
||||
setting only controls the collection of anonymous telemetry. Your prompts and
|
||||
answers, including code, are never collected, regardless of this setting.
|
||||
- **Gemini API key via the Gemini Developer API**: **Unpaid services**: When
|
||||
enabled, this setting allows Google to collect both anonymous telemetry (like
|
||||
commands run and performance metrics) and **your prompts and answers,
|
||||
including code,** for model improvement. When disabled we will use your data
|
||||
as described in
|
||||
[How Google Uses Your Data](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms#data-use-unpaid).
|
||||
**Paid services**: This setting only controls the collection of anonymous
|
||||
telemetry. Google logs prompts and responses for a limited period of time,
|
||||
solely for the purpose of detecting violations of the Prohibited Use Policy
|
||||
and any required legal or regulatory disclosures.
|
||||
- **Gemini API key via the Vertex AI GenAI API:** This setting only controls the
|
||||
collection of anonymous telemetry. Your prompts and answers, including code,
|
||||
are never collected, regardless of this setting.
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to the Privacy Notice that applies to your authentication method
|
||||
for more information about what data is collected and how this data is used.
|
||||
|
||||
You can disable Usage Statistics for any account type by following the
|
||||
instructions in the
|
||||
[Usage Statistics Configuration](./get-started/configuration-v1.md#usage-statistics)
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
You may opt-out from sending Gemini CLI Usage Statistics to Google by following
