I don't really see how you're coming to the conclusion that chain of events constitutes the sale of user data. Google has sold ad placement, not user data. When a TV station sells ad time to a company, and then someone sees the ad, comes into the store, and says "hey, I saw your TV ad while watching Law & Order", we don't say that the TV station has sold data to the merchant.
