I sure as hell hope is is not. Like every other piece of convenience crapware (pun intended) we've surrounded ourselves with, it would undoubtedly come packed with data sharing agreements with ad networks / data brokers.
If this ever becomes some sort of norm, I would encourage people to start mailing boxes of their own waste directly to Google for them to enjoy analyzing, as the data would inevitably end up in their hands anyway.

When the containers were all ruptured by the sorting machinery in the Garberville post office, much of that part of the county's mail smelled like a public toilet for several days. Darryl was informed of the disaster and shrugged sheepishly. When you were saving the planet, you won a few, you lost a few. https://books.google.nl/books?id=WDvNaVv_sX4C&pg=PA164&lpg=PA164&dq=mail+urine+to+ronald+reagan&source=bl&ots=l6xWPqKWCQ&sig=ACfU3U0q8XuycsLtsarRlqcGG4lD-bhB2w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi-yvyB0vLpAhWGqqQKHYf8Dk8Q6AEwAHoECAYQAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false https://books.google.nl/books?id=WDvNaVv_sX4C&pg=PA164&lpg=P... Bob Shireman, who calls himself a "consumer advocate," created the "Piddle to the President Kit." Nw you can send President Reagan your urine in a leak-proof missive, thanks to the sterile specimen cup, the currugated mailing box addressed to "Ron and Nancy," and the set of mailing insttructions that come with each kit. https://books.google.nl/books?id=neYDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT12&lpg=PT12&dq=mail+urine+to+ronald+reagan&source=bl&ots=LFUJJpUtc5&sig=ACfU3U0hzqmdTH54ZQHuwDYK4OxYA3lT-g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi-yvyB0vLpAhWGqqQKHYf8Dk8Q6AEwAXoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=mail%20urine%20to%20ronald%20reagan&f=false https://books.google.nl/books?id=neYDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT12&lpg=PT...
