I'd turn it off if/when they ask. I don't think that's unreasonable in the least. I'm not responsible for enforcing everyone's privacy preference, but I also respect them and will accommodate guests in my house.

How do you know the conversations were used for suggestions?
It could have been a visit to a website.
The privacy control where I disable location tracking and half a year later when I look in Google Dashboard I see months of travel history?
I respect that others aren't. I'm not naive in my acceptance.

I nuked my paid Google Apps account a couple of months ago. I had enough of their total disrespect for privacy. E.g. conversations that I had in Google Mail (which is protected by the Google Apps agreement) were used for suggestions, etc. in Google+ (which is not covered by the Google Apps agreement and uses data for targeted advertising).
