Question

Does a reply to [removed by moderator] reach the compliance case?

My customer data is still on Google Cloud, but my entire account has been banned. I only want to restore access as quickly as possible.

After I submitted an appeal, I received an email from an address in this format:

google-cloud-compliance-reply+{case-tag}@google.com

I was not sure whether replying directly to that message would reach the compliance team and be added to my case. I replied to that email one day ago, but I have not received any response yet.

I am in a hurry because the Appeals page only allows 500 characters, and I have also read that I should not submit duplicate appeals. Because of that, I cannot tell whether my case is still moving forward.

Could someone confirm the correct way to follow up: wait for a reply to that email, or use another channel? I will not post my project ID, case ID, or the full address here.

hi ​@amesamehot 

 

I’m sorry to hear you are going through this.  The Managers/Admins/Moderators of this community do not have any visibility or ability to escalate issues with the Trust and Safety team or Appeals. 

Do to the many posts our community has received on this topic, we’ve put together an article which walks you through the process and explains what to expect.

Hi ​@ErikaB 

Thank you for your reply. I did come across that article.

However, from reading other people's posts, it seems the first email after submitting an appeal is usually a fairly standard message. That's why I wanted to ask whether anyone could share their experience: does replying to this email actually get a response and help move the process forward?

What I'd like to confirm is whether all I can do now is wait, or whether I should submit another appeal. I'm worried that submitting it again might delay things further and just get me the same message.

Hi ​@amesamehot 

It’s recommended to avoid sending extra emails or submitting more appeals, as that can reset your place in line and cause further delays. Rest assured the appeals team has your request as you received an email reply from them. From what other members have shared, there is a high volume of appeals in process, so it might take longer than usual.
