Regardless of this particular issue, it's ironic that people think their Google docs are private.
Doesn't Google already have the right to parse your documents in Drive to show you ads?
They just recently pledged to stop parsing the paid Google Apps for Business emails to build ad preferences to show on other Google properties like YouTube.
I wonder if they're already scanning documents, and if we'd even know unless they were forced to stop making misleading statements acknowledge it in a court case like in the lawsuit over ad profiling students email in Google Apps for Education.
Not to mention that Schidmt or Nadella could have read your email or seen your company docs this morning and traded stocks based on them and Google/Microsoft are not even legally obliged to inform you that it happened.
Hope they have better controls now so that snooping on your data is not so easy for a Google employee now. But they're under no legal obligation since you sign away your rights when you upload data to their server. No one in that case would have a legitimate case against Google in court.
