Coordinator Service Additional Terms of Service

Publication date: 2024-02-09

To use the Coordinator Service, including related reports, features and capabilities (collectively the "Coordinator Service"), you and the legal entity on whose behalf you are using the Coordinator Service (if any) (together, "You") must accept (1) the Google Terms of Service, and (2) these Coordinator Service Additional Terms of Service (the "Additional Terms").

Read each of these documents carefully. Together, these documents are known as the "Terms". They establish what you can expect from us as you use the Coordinator Service, and what we expect from you.

If these Additional Terms conflict with the Google Terms of Service, these Additional Terms will apply.

Purpose of Coordinator Service

The Coordinator Service is designed to ensure that reports from the client software, such as a Chrome browser or an Android device, which are sent to the Aggregation Service, will run on Approved Aggregation Service Code and Binaries and to configure access to decryption keys and manage aggregatable report accounting.

Definitions

means a service operated by You using Approved Aggregation Service Code and Binaries that processes data from aggregatable reports to create a summary report and is intended to prevent inappropriate access to raw attributed conversion data or other intermediate data.
"Approved Aggregation Service Code and Binaries"
means the open source code or compiled binaries approved by Google that You will run in the Cloud Service's Trusted Execution Environment to operate the Aggregation Service and use the Coordinator Service.
