> Most importantly, Google Pay will never sell your data to third parties or share your transaction history with the rest of Google for targeting ads.

I seriously doubt this, but I find it interesting that they address the elephant in the room in the launch announcement.

I wonder how many other Google launches will note this as a perk before the hammer comes down from up high?

Disclaimer: I used to work at Google.

If it it written in the privacy policy or similar I would trust it. Of course that doesn't mean it will never change in the future.

The only problem with that is how googles tries to have one single privacy policy for all their products and use it in their points for services which have separate policies. :/

It's messy and often misleading for an average consumer.
