I can't imagine using Google services if one is remotely privacy conscious. Just from your own defense:

Drive: > your data isn't scanned (except for...

Google DNS: > What logging exists is extremely temporary...

Gmail: > we receive your email, scan it for ....

With that logic, how could anyone remotely privacy conscious use any service on the Internet?

There’s a lot to worry about w.r.t. privacy online. Virus scanning, spam filtering, and debug logging aren’t high on my worry-list.

I think the point is not necessarily what they are scanning now, but what they might scanning in the future for other purposes.
