Amazing how their wording is chosen - they and yahoo just give the personal information to third parties - they dont "send it via Internet"
Anyone that thinks Google doesnt collect personal data is living in a dream world - ever wonder why they fought the DOJ so hard to prevent releasing the info - it would be a PR massacre if the public found out - of course Yahoo, MSN and the others dont try to hide it as much so DOJ got everything they wanted from them
