REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages GDPR Art. 7(3), which requires that withdrawal of consent (where consent is the legal basis) be as easy as giving it — a 15-day take-it-or-leave-it notice period may not satisfy this standard if consent is the legal basis for processing. EU P2B Regulation Art. 3(1) requires 15 days' advance notice for changes to terms affecting business users, which Google's notice period meets. DSA Art. 14 requires platforms to maintain easily accessible and plain language terms, including modification procedures. UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires that changes to ongoing contracts be fair and provide adequate notice. FTC Act Section 5 applies to materially deceptive changes to terms that are not clearly disclosed. Enforcement: EU DPAs, Irish DPC, ICO, European Commission, FTC.
