If the Agreement authorizes the resale or supply of Google Cloud Platform under a Google Cloud partner or reseller program, then except for in the section entitled “Partner-Specific Terms”, all references to Customer in the Service Specific Terms mean Partner or Reseller (as applicable), and all references to Customer Data in the Service Specific Terms mean Partner Data.

Google may replicate that Customer Data within any other Region located within the country of the selected Region or within the country or countries of the selected Multi-Region (as applicable) for backup, reliability, debugging, support, maintenance, or security purposes.
