What a non-issue! Go to Google.com, click on "About Google", and there it is the bottom of the page!
Looks like the chief of California's Office of Privacy Protection, Joanne McNabb, has nothing better to do.

If Google can assert its legal terms just by publishing them, then users can assert their own terms of privacy protection just by publishing them! What do you think? --Ben http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2008/05/google-privacy-policy-terms-of-service.html

Privacy policies are not enough, people have to review the basic architecture to see if the processes supports the users expectations of privacy. Right now, Google is a public service and as such, your privacy expectations are minimal.
