The first time you use any of the Consumer Apps, you may\u00a0be asked to agree to a separate set of terms and conditions that cover those products. Regardless of whether you are asked by Google to agree to terms and conditions, using the app means you agree to\u00a0the same <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">terms of service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">privacy policy<\/a> that apply to Google&#8217;s consumer products regardless of whether you were asked to agree to them. \u00a0The data created while using these apps is not owned by Augsburg and could be indexed by Google and may be used to serve ads. \u00a0That means that those apps\u00a0<strong>do not offer the same FERPA, privacy, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality terms and conditions<\/strong> that the core apps do. Augsburg IT also does not have the same type of ability to manage these Apps as can be done with core Apps. Because of this we recommend faculty do not require students to use any consumer apps but instead make their use optional.<\/p>\n<h2>Connecting other Sites to your Augsburg Google Account<\/h2>\n<p>There are many sites that offer a product or service that works with Google and connects to your Google account. \u00a0When you connect these sites to your Google account one step is granting access or allowing the site access to your account. \u00a0For example, a tool that helps you organize your email might need access to your email to help you organize. \u00a0Keep in mind you are <strong>accepting some risk<\/strong> with choosing to allow that tool into your email &#8212; if it goes haywire and corrupts your account the only option might be to delete your account (and all your email with it) and start over.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being part of the Google ecosystem means everyone needs to be more aware of privacy, terms of service, and connecting accounts to non-Google sites.
