aristotle,

Perhaps you can help me out.
I don't see anything on:
[google.com...]
that states Google is collecting detailed user data.

Either I've missed the statements where they are gathering data, or you are promoting misinformation.
It's also possible they are collecting information without regard to their privacy policy. I'd think someone would find a reason to jump on that.
