Just read that Google has cut the amount of time they collect personal data as identified data - this was in a move to improve their own privacy issues with concern for user data.
They cut personal data retention from 18 months to nine months.
"We're significantly shortening our previous 18-month retention policy to address regulatory concerns and to take another step to improve privacy for our users," Google officials said in a blog post released Monday night.
Interesting to say the least -

I think they're probably trying to get the Privacy concern folks off of their back Scott. It's been a huge sticking point for some time now for those folks, especially back when they kept it for errm... ever.
Not a bad move on their part. I have to wonder if any of it was motivated by Chrome, even though from everything I've been able to tell so far it doesn't phone home on it's own.

Unfortunately, you're probably too right!
I know they have every byte of data that has ever crossed their servers... this is what they are, this is what they do, - they NEED that data.
