"How does Google protect your data internally?"

"After being asked personally a few times and reading
claims by others a few more, I thought I'd set the record
straight.... Working at Google does not give you access to the
data of users! It's an easy assumption to make. After all,
most companies don't put internal access controls on data making
it easy for every employee to access everything inside the
firewall. Google does not work that way." - Brian White

Having closely observed Google's internal processes in this regard
myself, I will simply state that I know of no large organization
anywhere on the planet that takes more care to protect their users'
data, and that Google's processes put the "privacy and security
controls" in place at most government agencies to absolute shame. I'll
stop there before I start getting angry again thinking about the latter.
P.S. I will also agree with the commenter on the referenced post who
asserts that "Google does a poor job of explaining this to end users well."

I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently
doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone.
