I'm guessing you read that and think, see they are awesome and privacy preserving! I read that and think much differently, but I'm obviously a pessimist here.

I really love this line:

> For clarity, Google does not use any information collected by Google Fonts to create profiles of end users or for targeted advertising.

Except they already have a profile of you, I promise. For instance, they explicitly don't say they don't use information from google fonts requests to update their existing profiles of you.

That’s accurate. Google has a massive amount of user-specific data, but it’s not exposed to advertisers in a way that exposes PII or is traceable back to specific users.

Like you said- it doesn’t mean that Google itself can’t use that data.
