“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?

Transferring data is not the same thing thing as selling data. Your data is being transferred, the money exchanged is for the servers, not for the data.
While this is the technicality they’ll die on, the value of the data in the transfer was 100% taken into account in this deal.
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.
