These SecOps Service Specific Terms are incorporated into the agreement under which Google has agreed to provide SecOps Services (as described at https://cloud.google.com/terms/secops/services) to Customer (the “Agreement”). If the Agreement authorizes you to resell or supply SecOps Services under a Google Cloud partner or reseller program, then except for in the section entitled “Partner-Specific Terms”, all references to Customer in these SecOps Service Specific Terms refer to you (“Partner” or “Reseller”, as used in the Agreement), and all references to Customer Data in the SecOps Service Specific Terms mean Partner Data. If you are accessing the Services as a customer of an unaffiliated Google Cloud reseller, then Section 9 (Resold Customers) of the General Service Terms will apply. Capitalized terms used but not defined in the SecOps Service Specific Terms have the meaning given to them in the Agreement.

General Service Terms
- Data**
a. Improvements. To respond to the evolving threat landscape and provide current and state-of-the-art cybersecurity, as part of providing the Services we process Customer Data to improve the security, threat detection, prevention, and response capabilities of such Services.
b. Location. In the Order Form or by other means if made available by Google, Customer may select to store Customer Data in a specific Region or Multi-Region as detailed in the SecOps Services Locations Page (“Data Location Selection”), and Google will store that Customer Data at rest only in the selected Region/Multi-Region. 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. The Services do not limit the locations from which Customer or Customer End Users may access Customer Data or to which they may move Customer Data. For clarity, Customer Data does not include resource identifiers, attributes, or other data labels.
2. General Software Terms. The following terms apply to all Software:
a. License. Google grants Customer a royalty-free (unless otherwise stated by Google), non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license during the Term to reproduce and use the Software ordered by Customer on systems owned, operated, or managed by or on behalf of Customer in accordance with (i) the Agreement, and (ii) if applicable, the Scope of Use. Customer may authorize its and its Affiliates' employees, agents, and subcontractors (collectively, “Software Users”) to use the Software in accordance with this section (License), so long as Customer remains responsible. Customer may make a reasonable number of copies of the Software for back-up and archival purposes. For clarity, Software does not constitute Services.
b. Documentation. Google may provide Documentation describing the appropriate operation of the Software, including usage guidelines, and whether and how the Software collects and processes data. Customer will comply with any restrictions in the Documentation regarding Software use.
