Text of tweet:

"Google will never sell any personal information to third parties; and you get to decide how your information is used." This is one of Google's two “unequivocal” policies.

How does this hold up when Google IS selling all my personal information in Google Domains to Squarespace?

This is actually a good question. With the usual restrictions on the sale of data, what happens if a complete company gets sold? Does selling your whole company let you sidestep restrictions on selling customer data?

Usually... it's usually best to read the privacy policy and user agreement. Almost all of them basically say that they can do whatever they want and that you waive your right to sue in court.
