Access minimization

Collect only reviews needed for merchant-risk analysis; avoid building unrelated customer profiles.

Reviewer pseudonymization

Analyst views should not expose reviewer identifiers unless necessary for authenticity analysis and legally supported.

Platform terms

Connector must document permitted purpose, retention and display rules for Google-derived data.

Human interpretation

Negative review sentiment is a risk signal, not proof of misconduct; material decisions require context.

Illustrative structured output

Schema is intentionally explicit to support decision-engine integration, explainability and audit. Values are simulated.
