Woah,
I never knew that, Greg.
What Google is doing with all that information is finding better ways to spam your email box.
It goes through e-mails and looks for keywords and then sends you mail based on them keywords.
I had a Gmail account at one time, but I got rid of it about 2-3 years ago, it was the most over-spammed e-mail account I've ever had, and yes, most of the spam was caused by Google itself.

I question Google's motives, especially after it got it's hands smacked over the WiFi info thing, it seems to me that Google fails to recognise that people don't like their privacy being invaded.
