Good question. I really used the wrong word. It's not about privacy so much as security. I can 
demonstrate and audit the physical security arrangements surrounding my co-located server. I can 
demonstrate the security arrangements within my server. I can demonstrate the security of my local 
office, document management and local storage. I have absolutely no way of verifying any form of 
security surrounding google applications and storage.

I must be able to verify the chain from end to end. Google is a link in the chain I can't verify and 
certainly can't rely on.
