Google's Privacy Policy provides detailed explanations of what data is collected, purposes of processing, and third-party recipients, with specific examples — supporting transparency obligations under Articles 13–14.

Users are offered extensive self-service controls including My Activity, Google Dashboard, My Ad Center, Privacy Checkup, Activity Controls, data export via Google Takeout, and full account deletion — supporting rights of access, erasure, portability, and objection (Articles 15–21).

Explicit consent is required before sharing sensitive personal information, and users can withdraw consent at any time — supporting Article 7 and Article 9 requirements for special category data.

Google states it reviews each government request for legal compliance before disclosing data, and publishes aggregate statistics in its Transparency Report — supporting accountability and transparency under Articles 5(2) and 30.

Encryption in transit is implemented, security features like Safe Browsing and 2-Step Verification are offered, and employee access is restricted with confidentiality obligations — supporting Article 32 security requirements.

Google Ireland Limited is identified as the data controller for EEA/Switzerland services, with GDPR explicitly referenced as applicable law for those regions — supporting Article 3 territorial scope and Article 27 representation requirements.

Children's data protections are referenced including Family Link for accounts of children under 13, age verification mechanisms, and parental consent requirements — supporting Article 8.

Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is referenced in Google Cloud Starter Tier terms, indicating processor obligations are contractually addressed — supporting Article 28.

International transfers are acknowledged with reference to appropriate safeguards and cooperation with data protection authorities — supporting Chapter V transfer requirements.

Specific retention periods are not provided for most data types — only general categories (e.g., 'until you delete,' 'set period,' 'longer for legal purposes') — failing the Article 5(1)(e) storage limitation principle's requirement for defined, limited retention periods.

International transfer mechanisms (Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, Binding Corporate Rules) are not explicitly named in the main privacy policy — creating uncertainty about lawful transfer mechanisms under Articles 44–49.

The policy does not specify exact timelines for responding to data subject rights requests, as required by Article 12(3) (without undue delay, within one month).

Details about automated decision-making and profiling logic are limited — the policy mentions personalization and ads but does not provide meaningful information about the logic involved or significance of processing, as required by Article 22 and Recital 71.

User interactions with AI models (Gemini Apps) are used for training without a clear opt-out mechanism — raising questions about whether this processing is covered by original consent and whether a separate lawful basis is established under Article 6.

Publicly available information is scraped to train AI models without explicit consent from the data subject — the lawful basis for this processing under Article 6 is not clearly articulated.

Cross-site and cross-app tracking via Google Analytics and third-party cookies is extensive, and while browser-level opt-outs are mentioned, the policy does not clearly explain how consent is obtained for non-essential tracking under the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in EU member states.

The broad, perpetual content license granted to Google in the Terms of Service (for operating, improving, and promoting services and developing new technologies) may conflict with the purpose limitation principle under Article 5(1)(b) when applied to user-generated content.

Google's government requests policy describes NSLs and FISA orders that bypass judicial oversight — these US surveillance mechanisms may conflict with GDPR's requirements for lawful processing and adequate protection of EU data subjects' rights.

The policy does not clearly distinguish between data controller and data processor roles across all services, particularly for Google Cloud and Workspace products where customers may be controllers.

Google states it does not sell personal information in the traditional sense and does not share personally identifiable information with advertisers without user consent — addressing CCPA 'sale' concerns.

Users can opt out of ad personalization through My Ad Center and Ad Settings — supporting the right to opt out of sale/sharing under CCPA §1798.120.

Google provides a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' mechanism through privacy settings — supporting CCPA/CPRA requirements.

Users can delete their data through My Activity, service-specific deletion, or full account deletion — supporting the right to delete under CCPA §1798.105.

Data export via Google Takeout supports the right to know and data portability under CCPA §1798.100 and §1798.130.

Google publishes a Transparency Report on government data requests — supporting accountability and the right to know.

Google allows specific partners to collect information from users' browsers or devices for advertising and measurement purposes using their own cookies — this may constitute 'sharing' under CPRA §1798.140(ah) for cross-context behavioral advertising, and the opt-out mechanism may not cover all such sharing.

The policy does not clearly categorize data as 'sold' vs. 'shared' vs. 'disclosed for business purposes' as required by CCPA/CPRA disclosure obligations.

Sensitive personal information (precise geolocation, biometric audio data, government ID for age verification) is collected, but the policy does not clearly explain the right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information as required by CPRA §1798.121.

The broad content license in the Terms of Service and the use of user data for AI training may constitute a 'business purpose' that is not clearly disclosed in a CCPA-compliant manner.

Retention periods are not specified for individual data categories as would be expected under CCPA's right to know requirements.

The policy does not clearly state whether Google uses personal information for inferencing about consumers or creates consumer profiles beyond what is described — a CPRA requirement.

Google identifies purposes for data collection and provides examples — supporting PIPEDA's Principle 2 (identifying purposes).

Consent mechanisms are described including explicit consent for sensitive information and withdrawal of consent — supporting Principle 3.

Users can access, correct, and delete their data through self-service tools — supporting Principle 9 (individual access).

Security measures including encryption, access controls, and breach notifications are described — supporting Principle 7 (safeguards).

Google states it limits collection to what is necessary for stated purposes in some contexts — partially supporting Principle 4 (limiting collection).

The scope of data collection is extremely broad (GPS, voice recordings, browsing history, third-party activity, contacts, etc.) and may exceed what is necessary for the stated purposes — potentially violating Principle 4.

Retention periods are not clearly defined for most data types — failing Principle 5 (limiting use, disclosure, and retention).

Cross-border transfers to the US and other jurisdictions are acknowledged but specific safeguards (comparable protection, contractual measures) are not detailed — raising concerns under Principle 4.1.3 of PIPEDA's accountability principle.

The use of user data for AI training and model improvement is not clearly covered by the original purposes for which data was collected — potentially violating Principle 5's limitation on use.

Meaningful consent for the breadth of data collection and sharing practices may not be achievable given the complexity and length of the policy — raising concerns about whether consent is truly 'informed' under Principle 3.

Google provides a legal basis for processing (consent, legitimate interest, contractual necessity, legal obligation) mapped to specific purposes — supporting LGPD Article 7.

Users can exercise rights including access, correction, deletion, portability, and revocation of consent through self-service tools — supporting LGPD Article 18.

Data protection officer contact information is referenced — supporting LGPD Article 41.

Security measures including encryption and access controls are described — supporting LGPD Article 46.

International transfers are acknowledged — partially addressing LGPD Article 33.

The policy does not clearly identify which legal basis applies to each specific processing activity, as recommended by the ANPD — making it difficult to assess compliance with Article 7.

Retention periods are not defined for most data types — failing LGPD Article 15's requirement that processing be limited to the minimum necessary period.

The use of user data for AI training and model improvement may not be covered by the original legal basis — raising questions about compatibility under Article 6(III) and the purpose limitation principle.

International transfer mechanisms (SCCs, adequacy, BCRs) are not explicitly named — creating uncertainty about compliance with LGPD Article 33.

The policy does not clearly address automated decision-making and profiling as required by LGPD Article 20 (right to review of automated decisions).

Children's data processing references Family Link but does not clearly explain how parental consent is obtained and verified as required by LGPD Article 14.

Google requires users to be at least 13 years old to create a Google Account, with parental consent required for younger users — supporting COPPA's age threshold.

Family Link is provided for managing children's Google Accounts — supporting parental control requirements under COPPA.

Age verification mechanisms are described including date of birth collection and machine learning to determine if user is over 18 — supporting COPPA compliance efforts.

Google states it processes data to ensure users are old enough to use its services — indicating awareness of child protection obligations.

The policy does not clearly describe how verifiable parental consent is obtained before collecting personal information from children under 13 — a core COPPA requirement (16 CFR §312.5).

Google collects extensive data from services that are likely accessed by children (YouTube, Google Assistant, Google Search) without clearly distinguishing between data collected from adults vs. children — raising concerns about COPPA's data minimization requirements for children.

The use of machine learning to determine if a user is 'likely over 18' is not a substitute for verifiable parental consent when the user is actually a child — this approach may not satisfy COPPA's consent requirements.

Google may request government ID or photo for age verification, which involves collecting biometric data from minors — this raises additional COPPA and BIPA concerns.

The policy does not clearly describe what specific data is collected from child-directed services or how parental access, deletion, and refusal rights are implemented as required by 16 CFR §312.6.
