   "The FTC's settlement with Google requires the company to inform
    and obtain its users' consent before it shares any of their
    information with third parties, and subjects the company to 20
    years of privacy audits every two years by an independent third
    party monitoring service. The audits are meant to ensure that
    Google is living up to its promises about what it is doing with
    its users' personal information. The company is also required to
    implement a comprehensive 'privacy program.'"
