According to their history of Terms of Service changes, it appears that they made changes to the language surrounding information collected while "private browsing" between September 1, 2015 and June 21, 2016. Just do a Cmd+F or Ctrl+F for "snap" (part of snapshot/snap shots; they do not spell it consistently).

In that case, it's been in their terms since 2016.

I do not agree with this practice nor do I condone it, but who is ultimately "in the wrong here"? Is it Google or is it the users, the latter of whom are supposed to read these Terms prior to agreeing to them?

Are "Terms" too long these days? I can't imagine most people have the time to read through all - if not any - of the Terms of Service (etc.) for all products and services they're utilizing in their life.
