As you probably know, Google does have quite clear policies on the matter.[0] You and your colleagues could raise that these are there for a reason, approved by senior management, and there to help you respect your users' rights. I like the sound of "Applications that affect or change your user experience should make clear they are the reason for those changes." or "It should be clear to you when you are installing or enabling software on your computer and you should have the ability to say no." or "We believe you should be asked explicitly for your permission in a manner that is obvious and clearly states what information will be collected or transmitted." All of these sound relevant to the grievance of the OP. [0]: https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/software-principles.html https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/software-principles.htm...
