> If Google used Google DNS to spy on people
Are you seriously thinking they don't store/analyse/use that kind of information??? (That's every site you visit, at minimum.)

They don't. They guarantee they don't.
The spooky answer is they don't need it.

So, while it can't be traced back to you, it is absolutely useful information for their business. Why do you think they offer the service? To be nice?
You tell me how to do that.
"By using service X you are agreeing to be bound by the terms located at .... "
That's why whenever companies change their ToS you get email/notifications/actual mail informing you of the changes.
You can't do that for DNS.
Legally speaking, yes it does. It's a free service. The only obligation they have is to make their terms freely accessible, and to publicize any major changes.
You seem to be implying that Google and other free DNS providers have never changed their privacy policies since there's no good way to notify the users. Google's own website (and the Internet Archive) totally contradict this.

They claim that they don't. You have no way of knowing if they're lying or not, though, so it boils down to "do you trust Google?"
You do, and that's fair. I don't, and that's also fair.
