It is for sale. Just not in the way you thought it was.
No, see, that's not how words work.
That argument would have worked better if you'd not implied she'd written something she hasn't written above. If she'd made the direct claim that Google sells this data, you'd have had a point.

She didn't.

That she made claims about "saleable data" does not imply they've actually offered it up for sale.

See, that's not how words work.
