While Google is graded poorly on that site, I don’t really see anything too egregious there. Maybe it’s because I used to work for a lot of software companies so I already know how the “sausage is made” as it were.
They have a clause in there that allows them not to immediately delete my data upon my request (which makes sense in case it was deleted by accident and I wanted to restore it or to comply with law enforcement), another that allows them to use partners to provide services (like cloud providers, though I’d guess they primarily use their own).
They do have one line item saying that they can share my data with third parties (possibly what you’re referring to), but the quote from the privacy policy only says that they publicly share people’s Google searches in aggregated form to provide their “Google search trends” service. This doesn’t/shouldn’t allow them to share my files with anyone.
That’s a great resource! Thanks for sharing.
