Google isn't selling your data. They'd never do that. They make nearly all their money with advertising because they have so much good data to target ads. If they sold this data they'd lose their competitive advantage.

It doesn't matter if Google is good or evil, selling user data to other companies would be a very bad business decision in both cases.

Good point. But selling it or using it in-house, they're still mining it for ad research.
