Google serves this page in regional editions chosen by your address. The sentence quoted here sits in the edition served to US addresses, which is where our archiver reads from; the edition served to UK addresses carries a "European requirements" section instead and does not contain it. This verdict reads the US-served document at the URL a UK reader is sent to.

Who receives you

Google does not publish a count of who receives this data.

None of the recipients on file are entities this site grades yet. That is a gap in the corpus, not a finding about Google.

Right of reply

Google has not been written to yet. When they are, the invitation and any reply will appear here — including if there is no reply.
