Basically all the data is available with no oversight if you ask permission and have some allusion to a relevant $JOB reason to need it.

The fairly recent case of people's private conversations being shipped out to basically unvetted contractors for labeling and analysis (and subsequently leaked) should serve as sufficient evidence that "shit happens," and if private conversations without having even initiated an interaction with your Google devices are being tossed around and leaked, forgive me if I don't believe that when producing the tagging, timeline, and album features in Google Photos there wasn't some underpaid, unwatched contractor snooping through my photos without my permission.
