note: >-
  Google runs no trust portal scoped to Google Analytics. trust.google.com,
  security.analytics.google.com and the usual /trust and /compliance paths do not resolve to
  a GA4-specific trust center. What Google does publish is a Google-Analytics-specific data
  privacy and security article that names one certification explicitly and enumerates the
  data-processing regimes GA4 operates under. Only claims Google makes about Google Analytics
  by name are recorded here — Google Cloud's much larger certification catalogue is a
  different product and is deliberately NOT credited to GA4.

    - SOC 2
    - SOC 3
    - PCI DSS
    - HIPAA
    - FedRAMP
  note: >-
    None of these are asserted for Google Analytics on any Google page located during this
    pass. Google Cloud Platform holds all of them, but GCP is a separate product with a
    separate certification scope and crediting them here would misattribute another product's
    posture.
