Strange reasoning. All files get send over the internet with e-mails, in essence, every document created ends up being sent electronically somewhere, as snail mail is just not an option anywhere. If you worry about Google reading your e-mails, than also your ISP, hosting your imap-server, the ISP of your client, the IT guy maintaining your and his computer system, etc. So the security of a google document ends up in the same insecure risk category as every e-mail you send. However, the reputational risk for google when documents get leaked from their server is extremely high, while the risk for your local IT guy or local ISP is probably lower than the price they can get for selling the documents.
