Google has extended the effective date of the policy from October 1, 2026 to October 16, 2026. The policy now allows certain Google services, such as Search or Gemini Apps, to access data from other Google services like Google Photos and Workspace apps (Gmail, Drive) to provide a more personalized experience, including personalized ads, subject to the accessing service's policies and settings. Previously, Google stated it would not show personalized ads based on content from Drive, Gmail, or Photos; now it may do so if you choose to make that data available to other Google services that support personalized ads. A new "Personal Intelligence" feature is described, where data shared between services may be used to personalize your experience (e.g., Search using hotel booking details from an email).

Google has extended the effective date of the policy from October 1, 2026 to October 16, 2026. The policy now allows certain Google services, such as Search and Gemini Apps, to access data from other Google services like Google Photos, Gmail, and Drive for personalization purposes, including ads, when users choose to permit this. The restriction on using content from Drive, Gmail, or Photos for personalized ads has been narrowed so that it no longer applies if users choose to make that data available to other Google services that support personalized ads. A new section on "personalize content" explains that data shared between services may be used to personalize experiences, such as Search using hotel booking details from email.

The policy removes a note stating that HubSpot's 2025 modern slavery statement had not yet been published on the Australian Modern Slavery Statements Register. This eliminates a disclosure about the status of that statement, but does not change any user rights, obligations, or other contractual terms.

The legal terms now incorporate a new "Driver Rewards Terms and Conditions" document by reference, defined as the terms at the Driver Rewards URL, which makes those terms part of the agreement. A link to those terms was also added to the legal documents list. The other additions are just industry category labels and have no legal effect.

The product description now refers to "Global Consent Manager" instead of "Preference Manager" for consent capture, and adds that it handles billions of on-demand records with an immutable audit trail while unifying marketing and data processing consent operations. The FAQ answer about Marketing Cloud integration was revised to describe integrating the Consent Data Model with Marketing Cloud Engagement rather than manually integrating Marketing Cloud data with the Consent Data Model. These are product naming and capability descriptions rather than changes to contractual rights, obligations, or privacy terms.

Substantive pricing and product-terms changes: several on-demand rates were reduced (APM Pro from $48 to $36, APM Pro-related from $54 to $42, APM Enterprise from $60 to $48), while Serverless Applications pricing increased from $2 to $10 per million traced invocations ($2.90 to $15 on demand). The Code Security offering was restructured into three bundles—Core Bundle, Flex Bundle (Secrets) at $48 per committer/month ($70 on demand), and Advanced Bundle at $55 per committer/month ($80 on demand)—with Secret Scanning and Infrastructure as Code Security now tied to higher tiers. The billing requirements for Runtime SCA and Runtime Code Analysis (IAST) changed: they now require only the Datadog Agent and SDK rather than APM, though APM intake costs are still incurred for ingesting security data, and the AWS Fargate add-on can run without APM.

The third-party notices now include a new "Art and sound" section listing Creative Commons–licensed assets, with attribution and license terms for each. The MIT license notice for react-native-in-app-utils was removed. These are changes to attribution and licensing disclosures rather than to the user-facing terms of service.

The Service Level and Support terms were revised to clarify that support includes help with platform functionality and technical issues, to limit active investigation and test maintenance to primary business hours "as applicable," and to route urgent issues to the appropriate provider team rather than the client's primary service team. The Platform Usage Addendum now supplements a broader set of agreements (including subscription plans and purchasing agreements), adds "Test Runs" as a new billable consumption metric, and expands usage thresholds to include Test Run thresholds. Billing terms now make the provider's unilateral right to change metrics and billing subject to pricing commitments, commercial terms, and notice requirements in the Agreement, and the dispute window now runs from the date charges are assessed when no invoice is issued.
