Enterprise Cloud requests for customer information

In this Enterprise requests report, we provide additional details on a subset of Global requests that involve Enterprise Cloud customers. As a subset of our Global requests , these Enterprise requests do not include the requests separately reported with our US national security requests.

How Google defines an Enterprise Cloud customer

In this report, an Enterprise Cloud customer means:

A Google Cloud Platform account that is billed through offline invoicing or
A Google Workspace domain with

purchased Google Workspace services and more than 50 seats, or
Google Workspace for Education services and more than 50 seats.

Requests by reporting period

Every six months, we report the number of requests made by governments for user information, and the number of accounts subject to those requests. Learn more about our approach to these requests and certain limitations to this report.

Percentage of requests where some information is disclosed

This table reflects the number of requests that involve an Enterprise Cloud customer and the percentage of requests for which Enterprise Cloud customer information is disclosed.

Diplomatic legal requests

This table shows the number of requests for Enterprise Cloud customers that we can identify as having been issued through diplomatic procedures. These include, for example, requests from the government of one country to another through a mutual legal assistance treaty.

How Google handles government requests for Enterprise Cloud customer information

We carefully review each request to make sure it satisfies applicable laws. If a request asks for too much information, we try to narrow it, and in some cases we object to producing any information at all. And, consistent with the policy of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) , we advise governments making requests to first approach the Enterprise Cloud customer directly before making a request of Google.
