“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?

    the money exchanged is for the servers, not for the data

    That doesn’t hold up.

    That’s like when you buy a sticker and the ounce of weed just “comes with it”. The money is for the sticker, not the weed. If your concern is who has your data, whether it was sold alone or as part of some other purchase doesn’t matter.

      Squarespace isn’t buying your data though, it is buying domains.

      It’s the same as a company getting sold to another company, eg. Microsoft buying Blizzard entertainment wasn’t selling data, even though personal data of customers was transferred from blizzard to microsoft. It legally isn’t selling your data.

      And if someone has a problem with it, the only solution is deleting everything he has on the domain and canceling the subscription.
