Crosswalk pair
GDPR and Google Play Families, control by control
1 canonical control in Keel’s library satisfies clauses of both GDPR and Google Play Families. Implement each once, attach the evidence once, and it counts toward each standard. The overlap is the work you don’t repeat.
The overlap
What the two libraries have in common
Every figure here counts canonical controls in Keel’s library, not clauses of either standard. Each standard’s own authored count is on its framework page.
1
Controls that satisfy both
Canonical controls that crosswalk to at least one clause of each.
22
In Keel’s library for GDPR
5% of them also map to Google Play Families.
9
In Keel’s library for Google Play Families
11% of them also map to GDPR.
4
Evidence artifacts expected
Across the shared controls, from Keel’s evidence guidance. Gathered once.
-
GDPR 5%
1 control of 22 in Keel’s library for GDPR also maps to Google Play Families.
-
1 control of 9 in Keel’s library for Google Play Families also maps to GDPR.
The mapping
Controls that satisfy both
Each row is one control in Keel’s library and the clauses it answers on each side. Do the work once; both columns are then evidenced by the same artifacts.
| Canonical control | GDPR clauses | Google Play Families clauses |
|---|---|---|
| Minimised collection in children’s activities Games, prize offerings and other activities aimed at children are reviewed so participation is never conditioned on disclosing more personal information than the activity reasonably needs, and the technical identifiers and location signals the app stores prohibit in children’s apps are neither collected nor transmitted. | Art.5(1) | families/requirements/child-only-identifiers, families/requirements/ad-id-permission, families/requirements/mixed-identifiers, families/requirements/phone-number, families/requirements/child-only-location |
Beyond the pair
Where else this work counts
A framework is lit when a shared control above also maps to it. Unlit means none of them do — an absence, not a judgment about that standard.

The thesis
Why this is one project, not two
On a crosswalk-native model, Google Play Families mostly lights up controls you already built for GDPR. You’re not re-uploading the same screenshot for a second audit. You apply the framework and see the genuine delta worth working. That’s the whole idea behind collect once, comply everywhere.
Next step
Add Google Play Families to the work you already did
Apply both frameworks in one workspace and see the overlap measured against the controls you already hold.
