So how does Google know my address? I don't have it in my Google profile.

So Google will add a new form to my profile where I can enter all the information I want to be notified about? Full address, all my phone numbers, just to be sure my credit card number, ...

And this will totally not be used for other purposes.

If you have ever looked at Google maps they know your address and know where you work, where you shop and I'd guess every search you have ever done on Google.

I might be paranoid but I think of Google as a branch of the US gov like the cia, fbi etc. My thinking is mainly on Google existing straight after they claimed to stop the echelon survelience.
