Our human rights governance and management structure provides effective oversight of key human rights risks and mitigation strategies As disclosed on our Human Rights website, under the umbrella of our Human Rights Program, our senior management oversees the implementation of our civil rights and human rights work. The Audit Committee also provides oversight of key risks, including those associated with human rights, data privacy and security, legal, regulatory, compliance, and reputational risks, as well as “the steps Alphabet takes to prevent, detect, monitor, and actively manage such exposures.” We also evaluate how we act on our human rights commitments and mitigate related risks, and make enhancements to our governance as appropriate. Our Human Rights Program advises product teams on potential civil and human rights impacts, conducts human rights due diligence, and engages external experts and stakeholders. Furthermore, our Human Rights Program is a central function responsible for ensuring that we are meeting our commitment to the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, Global Network Initiative Principles, and other civil and human rights instruments across Google and its products. Our civil and human rights work is integrated into processes and procedures across the company and informs our long-term strategies and day-to-day decision-making. We maintain transparent policies and principles on use of our technology Our technologies further our mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our robust policies and processes, principles, and terms of service govern our work with our customers and partners, including our work with government customers. In 2010, we launched the Google Transparency Report, which sheds light on how the policies and actions of governments and corporations affect our users’ privacy, security, and access to information. We voluntarily disclose the number of requests we receive from courts and government agencies, and provide this information on a country/regional basis. Additionally, we provide transparency about removals via Lumen, a project of Harvard University, which works with a variety of international research partners to offer information about the global landscape of Internet takedown requests. Lumen posts and analyzes different kinds of requests to remove material from the Internet, including requests from government agencies. Lumen receives these requests from participating companies as well as from individuals. When we are able to do so legally, we link from our search
