Subject : Request for Clarification: Gemini API Use in a Parent-Supervised Student Project
Hello Google Gemini API Support Team,
I am interested in using the Gemini API for a personal AI assistant project named ATLAS.
My child is developing ATLAS as an educational programming and AI development project. I would personally own and manage the Google account, supervise API usage, and maintain control over API credentials and any associated billing.
Before proceeding, I would like clarification on the following:
Does Google’s policy permit a parent-managed Gemini API account to be used in an AI project developed by their minor child?
Can I authorize my child to develop and maintain the Python backend that integrates with the API?
Are there any additional parental consent or supervision requirements?
Is there a way to use the Gemini API within its free usage limits without adding a payment method?
We want to ensure that our intended use fully complies with Google’s applicable Terms of Service and age requirements.
Thank you for your guidance.
Regards,
Ravindra Pachkude
