"The commitments impose on Google further obligations within the meaning of Article 1(6)
sentence 2(b) DMA, as they either concern Google services which are not listed in the
European Commission’s decision of 5 September 2023 as core platform services repre-
senting an important gateway for business users to reach end users, or as they concern
Google Maps or Google Play but represent further obligations with regard to Google Maps
and Google Play compared with those currently applicable to Google under the DMA"

To be able to use the features, users must set their home and work address as well as activating “web and app activity,” which gathers much more personal data including Chrome browsing history, location, credit card purchase history, and more.”
