What does an average day look like? (I realize everyday is likely different, but this question helps identify a lot of the common functions that an APM is doing) The scope of the data we manage is all activity - things you do - across Google products, such as your Search or Chrome history. We provide users the understanding of how and why their data is collected and stored, as well as controls for managing that data, including the ability to delete any and all data. I personally work on My Activity (), a team separate from PDPO, which aims to increase user trust through transparency and agency. In general, PDPO facilitates the work of thousands of global, cross-functional Googlers and Characters in support of company-wide privacy initiatives, critical processes, employee-facing tools, user-facing products, privacy infrastructure, research, and more. The main privacy org, called the Privacy & Data Protection Office (PDPO) was formed in response to the GDPR requirement that companies have internal agents serving to maintain accountability for the rest of the company. There are actually multiple teams at Google that focus on data privacy. He studied CS at Brown.Ĭan you tell us a bit more about what the Data Privacy team focuses on? I wanted to find out more about the program and what he thinks of it so far.

Had the chance to interview Griffin who just started as an Associate Product Manager at Google.
