Sure, nobody doubts that. Whether the trust is deserved, that's another story.
They scan your email to find out where you traveled and what you bought. I guess most people don't know and many are shocked once they find out.
As for the second part, that's your personal risk tolerance so I'm going to leave that to you. Google is generally a high-trust brand in America, so most people will find the risk tolerable. If you don't find it tolerable, you shouldn't use it.
