1st let’s look at google own privacy policy as written and available on their website.
The part I like the most;
[quote]
• Please refer to your domain administrator’s privacy policy for
more information.
For external processing
We provide personal information to our affiliates or other
trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions
and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate
confidentiality and security measures.

If you read the full complete policy dated DEC102013, and then the multiples of sub policies, you will have to wonder what google
is really doing with all of this data that it “could elect to” collect and how broadly
it’s written, they could collect a lot
of things.
You will have to wonder by now; " how supportive is google with protecting your internet privacy?" That's a question that only you can answer .
But keep in mind; that 20+ years ago, we didn’t have these
issues within the internet. Every since the internet has been became a playground, & a commercialized avenues for business and organizations, privacy now
becomes a major issue within the internet.
So would you trust Google
own uProxy solution?
Not me!
Google is bad, and very bad when it comes to protection your
privacy. One would be very silly to think otherwise. If you want to
see a comparison, read yahoo’s policy statement, and then make your
decision on google written and published policies, & how it effects your privacy.
Now back to uProxy, this works via plugin available within selected google's browser. The whole ideal is to build a web of trust between friends/associate , and proxy your connecting traffic between these friends.
uProxy provides some degree of anonymous access between your associates. An alternative would be the Lantern project, but even this is questionable, and they like google, collects data upon one access and invitation. You can fine more here about lantern; https://www.getlantern.org/
So with the google implementation, you have to wonder as to how much privacy do you really have. Trusting google is about as comparative with trusting a pack of wolves to guard your flock of sheep.
I myself , would not want to trust google to ensure my privacy over the internet.
