If we remove:
A profile
- The public can’t visit the profile.
- The owner and managers can't act on the profile.
- The owner and managers can ask us to reinstate the profile. If a profile gets reinstated, we also reinstate its owner and managers.
The owner’s Google Account
- We remove all the locations owned by that user.
- If we reinstate the owner’s Google Account, we'll also reinstate the owned locations.
A manager’s Google Account
- We suspend the manager on the accounts that they manage. The locations aren’t affected.
- If we reinstate a manager’s Google Account, they regain access to the locations.
