Satellite imagery viewable in Google Maps or Google Earth has some privacy concerns but the largest privacy concern is typically over Google's high-resolution street view imagery, where you have the potential to identify individuals.

Google applies "cutting-edge" blurring technology to blur faces and licenses plates on all Street View images but that is not perfect and people have to explicitly opt out to blur images further assuming they can find themselves in a given image.

Google claims that "an individual or the vehicle cannot be identified" but then has this disclaimer "if our detectors missed something, you can easily let us know".
