There is some information on this buried in configuration.md under "Usage Statistics". They claim:

*What we DON'T collect:*

- *Personally Identifiable Information (PII):* We do not collect any personal information, such as your name, email address, or API keys.

- *Prompt and Response Content:* We do not log the content of your prompts or the responses from the Gemini model.

- *File Content:* We do not log the content of any files that are read or written by the CLI.

This is useful, and directly contradicts the terms and conditions for Gemini CLI (edit: if you use the personal account, then its governed under the Code Assist T&C). I wonder which one is true?

Thanks for pointing that out, we're working on clarifying!

When should we expect to see an update? I assume there'll be meetings with lawyers for the clarification.

Where did you find the terms and conditions for Gemini CLI? In https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/README..., I find only links to the T&Cs for the Gemini API, Gemini Code Assist (a different product?), and Vertex AI.

If you're using Gemini CLI through your personal Google account, then you are using Gemini Code Assist license and need to follow the T&C for that. Very confusing.

Can a lawyer offer their civilian opinion as to which supercedes/governs?

I wonder what the legal difference between "collect" and "log" is.

Collection means it gets sent to a server, logging implies (permanent or temporary) retention of that data. I tried finding a specific line or context in their privacy policy to link to but maybe someone else can help me provide a good reference. Logging is a form of collection but not everything collected is logged unless mentioned as such.
