Security

Enterprise Workspace includes admin controls, data handling agreements, and Google's security infrastructure. SOC 2 compliant.

Enterprise API includes usage controls and data handling. Consumer plans do not have enterprise security features.

Privacy notes

Review Google's AI data usage policy. Enterprise Workspace users have stricter data protections. Free tier conversations may be reviewed to improve products.

Review xAI's privacy policy. Consumer plan data handling differs from enterprise API terms.
