Digital Markets Act Raising Issues with Public Authorities
Google does not interpret any provisions, including confidentiality provisions, in its contracts or terms of service that are in scope of the Digital Markets Act, as preventing counterparties from raising any issue of non-compliance with the law or with any relevant public authority. This is without prejudice to the operation of lawful complaints-handling mechanisms that are laid down in agreements with business users, as defined by the Digital Markets Act.
Our commitment to data protection laws
Privacy regulation is changing. We know you need to select products that are both compliant with all applicable data protection laws, and use personal data in ways that are compliant. Learn more about how Google is complying with specific privacy laws below.
Audits and certifications
Any data you share with Google is protected. Our products’ security controls are regularly audited in line with international standards to ensure all personal information is handled safely and responsibly. In addition, the effectiveness of our controls is reviewed by an independent third party every two years, at least.
