Google Maps policy drops legal-basis details; adds line on non-account data
The diff removes a large block from the legal bases section. It covered legitimate interests, vital interests and legal obligations such as age checks, financial record-keeping and sharing data with regulators and researchers. A short sentence saying Google also collects data not tied to your account was added, and the signed-out identifiers sentence was reworded as an example. The diff alone does not show whether the removed material moved elsewhere in the policy.
