1. If the company has recordings, governments can hoover them up. And once one govt agency has them, sometimes other agencies get access.
2. Sounds like you're okay with Google using your private communication to enhance its products. So they can target you with ads based on your conversations with your spouse, children, or colleagues.

If you're still worried because you told Google your social security number, you can review what is stored, opt-out, and even mass delete the recordings at myactivity.google.com.

If everyone simply plays by the rules, then there's nothing to worry about.
