ARCore Additional Terms of Service

  • Usage of ARCore requires acceptance of both the Google APIs Terms of Service and the ARCore Additional Terms of Service, with the latter governing in case of conflict.

  • API Clients using ARCore must notify end users about the inclusion of Google's ARCore functionality and state that its use is subject to the current Google Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.

  • Users must adhere to the specific user privacy requirements applicable to their API Client when using ARCore.

  • Using ARCore Cloud Anchors or ARCore Geospatial API is prohibited in applications considered "directed to children" under COPPA.

  • The APIs cannot be used to create products or services that substantially replicate existing Google products or features; they must offer significant independent value.

To use ARCore (including the ARCore SDK, APIs, other developer services, and associated software and documentation) (collectively, "APIs"), you must accept (1) the Google APIs Terms of Service, and (2) these ARCore Additional Terms of Service (the "Additional Terms"). If these Additional Terms conflict with the Google APIs Terms of Service, these Additional Terms will govern for your use of ARCore.

Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

The terms of service for your API Client (e.g., your app) will (1) notify end users that the API Client includes ARCore functionality provided by Google; and (2) state that use of ARCore functionality is subject to the then-current versions of the: (A) Google Terms of Service at policies.google.com/terms; and (B) Google Privacy Policy at google.com/policies/privacy.

User Privacy Disclosures

You must follow the user privacy requirements applicable to your API Client.

Child-Directed Applications

You may not use ARCore Cloud Anchors or ARCore Geospatial API in an API Client that would be deemed to be a “Web site or online service directed to children” under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

No Re-Creating Google Products or Features

You will not use the APIs to create a product or service with features that are substantially similar to or that re-create the features of another Google product or service (such as Live View on Google Maps). Your product or service must contain substantial, independent value and features beyond the Google products or services.
