In a Family Vault, the creator decides tagging, and it then applies to every member's photos
If you create a Family Vault, only you control whether Tagging Features are enabled in it; if they are, image analysis is performed on all photos and videos stored by Family Vault members. If you join someone else's Family Vault by invitation, the person who invited you controls whether Tagging Features are enabled for the vault, and if they are, image analysis will be performed on the photos and videos you store through the Services.
Supporting quotations

Qualifications & exceptions
An invited member does not control tagging for the vault, despite the general right to switch Tagging Features on or off in your own settings.
Not stated here
For an invited member, the source says analysis covers "the photos and videos you store through the Services"; it does not say whether this is limited to what you add to the Family Vault or extends to your other stored photos.
Joining a Group does not change your tagging settings
If you are a member of a Group, your tagging settings are not affected by your Group membership or by the tagging settings of any other Group member, including the person who set up the Group. This differs from a Family Vault, where the creator's choice applies to members.
Supporting quotations
your tagging settings will not be affected by your membership of a Group or by the tagging settings of any other Group member (including the person that enabled the Group).
Turning tagging off does not withdraw consent you gave others to recognize you in their photos
Disabling the Tagging Features for your own account does not affect any consent you may have given to other people for the use of image recognition features on photos or videos of you.
Supporting quotations
Turning off the Tagging Features for your account does not affect any consent that you may have given to others to the use of image recognition features on photos or videos of you.
