Anyone read the new Google Privacy Policy?

Pretty standard. They keep and store everything. No surprise. I found this interesting:
When showing you tailored ads, we will not associate a cookie or anonymous identifier with sensitive categories, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation or health.
I understand the principle, but those things are attributes of a person just like gender or interests. An older person in poor health, as well as the associated advertisers, could benefit from being shown ads for Life Alert rather than high-endurance fitness classes, etc. A beneficial product is presented, and advertisers aren't wasting impressions and lowering their CTR.
