Thanks Jon for your reactivity and this answer !

Our company orgchart is based on Google Org Chart library, so we pass JSON data to the library to retrieve the chart HTML DOM result to display.

Is there any security risk to transfer this JSON data to this Google Org Chart library ?

I ask you this question because our internal security team has been confused (misunderstanding..) between Third-Party libraries and Google-Authored Libraries...they refuse us to utilize this Google Org Chart library for the following reasons :

But I undersand that this reasons are related to Third-Party librairies, not Google-Authored libraries...

Thanks for your help,

Best Regards,

Jean-Christophe A.

That screenshot must be from Google Image Charts, not Google Charts. When you use the Google Org Chart (which is part of Google Charts), the data populating the chart is not sent to Google. The library is downloaded to the web browser and then your JavaScript code uses that downloaded library to render the chart, all in the browser.
