Those plans were words. As long as they do not offer a legally binding commitment to their users never to track users/never to do ads in their software etc. there is no reason why one should consider this as more than some vague plan. As they Romans said "caveat emptor" (the buyer shall beware). Or as is is written in Faust by Goethe: "Denn, was man schwarz auf weiß besitzt, Kann man getrost nach Hause tragen." ("That one can take back home, and use, What someone’s penned in black and white."
