When customer data is uploaded to Google Cloud, who owns the data?

No third party holds ownership of customer data stored in Google Cloud; Google acts only as a data processor, not a co-owner or transferor.

Google does not share ownership with the customer; ownership remains solely with the customer who uploaded the data.

Google does not own customer data - it processes data on behalf of customers under contractual agreements that preserve customer ownership.

Google's Cloud Privacy Notice and Terms of Service explicitly state that customers own their data. Google does not claim ownership over customer data and only processes it to deliver the requested services.
