Monitor Google Gemini compliance pages

Google's Gemini LLM family — available via Vertex AI (enterprise) and Gemini API (developer), plus consumer Gemini app and Workspace integration.

Google Gemini publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using Google Gemini as a processor must continuously verify that "sufficient guarantees" remain in place — which means tracking changes to these pages as they happen. Below are the 4 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
