That's a silly statement. By saying 'nobody' - a single point of data invalidates your assertion.

I use gmail, I'm quite happy to trust that contract.

You're saying that you trust that contract today, or are you saying that you have always trusted that contract?

Its only recently that gmail's contract involved keeping out of your data. I think they also only say they abstain from using your data for targeted advertising, not that they don't use it for other purposes. I haven't read the terms in quite a while though and I could be mistaken.

Great products though. I really do wish I could pay for them in exchange for a real, trustworthy, comprehensive privacy promise.

There is a whole world of difference between paid for and not paid for Google services.
