Interpretive note: The excerpt is heavily truncated with an ellipsis, making it impossible to confirm the full scope of the clause, which additional measures are included, or the precise mechanism by which personalization is disabled.

The reference to measures that 'work together' suggests additional protections exist but they are not identified in the excerpt.
