Google Fiber was one of the six ISPs subject to the FTC's compulsory 6(b) orders. The specific hazard here is combination: Google already holds search, browsing, location, email and video history for most of its users, and Google Fiber adds the network layer underneath all of it. Google Fiber Inc. is legally a distinct entity from Google LLC, and that distinction is exactly the thing a consumer cannot verify from the outside - whether the corporate separation constrains data flow in practice, or only on the organisational chart. CROSS-REF: the Google/Alphabet and Google Gemini rows elsewhere in this tracker.

Terms

Arbitration

Binding arbitration via AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules; notably broad scope explicitly includes claims for 'mental or emotional distress' arising from the relationship, and claims that arose before the customer even accepted the terms (e.g., disputes over how the service was marketed) — an unusually wide net compared to peers.

Data sharing

Not independently confirmed this pass; note Google Fiber Inc. is legally distinct from Google LLC generally, so its privacy practices are not automatically covered by the main Google Privacy Policy a customer may already be familiar with.

Fees and billing

Not itemized this pass.

Contacts

Privacy contact. dpo-google@google.com (primary route is the Google privacy help form)

Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service. If private: the state registered agent is usually the only reliable route.

Mailing address. Google LLC, Attn: Data Protection, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
