While Google states that third-party service providers must comply with its privacy policy and security requirements, the breadth of affiliated entities and the use of sub-processors may result in personal data being processed across multiple organizations.
Interpretive note: The notice does not enumerate specific sub-processors or affiliate entities in this document; the full scope of sharing is disclosed in the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, creating uncertainty about which organizations may receive personal data.
Your personal information collected via Google Cloud may be shared with Google's affiliated companies and with external service providers used to operate Google Cloud, meaning your data may flow beyond Google's direct control to sub-processors subject to contractual but not always publicly disclosed protections.

"We do not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Google unless one of the following circumstances applies: We have your consent. We share personal information with our affiliates. We share personal information with third parties who process it for us based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.— Excerpt from Google Cloud's Google Cloud Privacy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates GDPR Article 28 (sub-processor obligations), GDPR Chapter V (international transfers), and CCPA service provider and third-party disclosure requirements. The FTC Act Section 5 applies to the adequacy of security and confidentiality representations made about third-party recipients. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The notice asserts that third-party processors operate under Google's instructions and comply with its privacy policy, but the specific identities and locations of sub-processors are not enumerated in this document. Organizations subject to GDPR must independently verify Google's sub-processor list through the Cloud Data Processing Addendum. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA organizations must confirm that cross-border transfers to Google affiliates or sub-processors in third countries are covered by adequate transfer mechanisms. California organizations should assess whether sharing with affiliates constitutes a CCPA-defined sharing or sale. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement and vendor management teams should request and review Google's current sub-processor disclosure list, available through the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, and establish internal processes to be notified of sub-processor changes as required under GDPR. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should update vendor management documentation to reflect Google's affiliate sharing and sub-processor practices. Contract review should confirm whether Google's affiliate sharing terms align with data processing agreements executed between the organization and Google.
