Google Apps is also governed by a detailed Privacy Policy, which ensures we will not inappropriately share or use personal information placed in our systems. The Google Apps Terms of Service contractually ensures that your institution (or students, faculty, and staff) are the sole owners of their data. Because customers own the data they put into Google Apps, we believe it should be easy for your users to move their data in and out of our systems. The controls, processes and policies that protect user data in our systems have obtained a SAS 70 Type II attestation and will continue to seek similar attestation. Google complies with applicable US privacy law, and the Google Apps Terms of Service can specifically detail our obligations and compliance with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) regulations. Google is registered with the US-EU Safe Harbor agreement, which helps ensure that our data protection compliance meets European Union standards for educational institutions.
