Google doesn't (as far as I know) sell user information to advertisers. They exclusively use their own analytics; all an advertiser can do is submit their target demographics and keywords, and let Google do the math.
This is an oft quoted statement. Does that imply/insinuate others (like fb) do ? I think fb and Google might be the same in this regard.
If you're not using their services (at least passively), you're definitely not making them money.
When I send an email from my non-Gmail account to somebody who uses Gmail, is this still true ?
