Google commits to building privacy protections into its AI systems from the ground up, giving users transparency and control over how their data is used by AI.

Privacy by design is now a legal requirement under GDPR Art. 25, not just a best practice — this commitment signals regulatory alignment but the document does not specify what controls are actually available.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly engages GDPR Art. 25 (data protection by design and by default), which is a binding legal requirement for Google as a data controller processing EU residents' data; GDPR Art. 5 (data minimization, purpose limitation, storage limitation principles); CCPA/CPRA §1798.100 et seq. (consumer rights over personal information); and the FTC's framework for privacy by design (2012 Privacy Report). The Google Privacy Policy (separate document) governs the specific data practices; this provision sets the design-level commitment. Enforcement authority: EU national DPAs, EDPB, California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), FTC.
