Yes, I agree "trust" is the wrong word. It is perhaps better to think of it as a trade-off of some risk for some convenience and that's OK.
In any case, back to the OP's question, the stated "policy" about privacy means virtually nothing unless there exists a third party who can effectively verify that policy.

You just have to assume that all the data you share is no longer yours and will be used however the company sees fit. I am amazed by the number of people who assume that "that would be bad PR if they got caught" is good enough security to protect data they consider sensitive. Especially when the PR damage historically has been very low, especially if you are a sexy and loved company like facebook or google.
