$425M to Google is like $42.5 to me.

More like $4.25 :)

Note the obvious disconnect here:

"users can turn off personalization"

Google STILL collects whatever data they wish, however may not go onto using it to 'personalize' the users experience.

As apposed to never collecting the data in the first place.
