This sounds scary at first, but it seems to only apply to a profile which I have apparently or apparently not created. They have the default right too (unlike facebook): I don't get an automatic opt-in, I get an automatic opt-out. The only thing left to clarify (as mostly_harmless writes) is the connection of a profile to other gmail services. If they get the balance wrong here, they're done. If they don't - and they seem to be doing a pretty good job so far.
