You should know that you can request your home be blurred from Google Street View.

[If] you prefer your home, vehicle or full body not be shown, you can request it to be blurred. Only the home owner or tenant is eligible to request a house blur.

the blur is permanent. We also ensure that the newly blurred Street View image is excluded from generative AI prompting from that point onward, honouring your privacy choice.

I can't figure this out. They say that you can redact your name and financial stuff. The only thing they'd know is your house, (throw away) email and gas provider. What am I missing?
