You forgot the second part of that quote that's much more relevant to this conversation:
> "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place, but if you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines including Google do retain this information for some time, and it's important, for example that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act. It is possible that that information could be made available to the authorities."
Just need to add "we are all subject to buggy permissions APIs" :/
