None of that customer data is included in the purchase. Page 18 of the linked court document is the source of these record counts, and on the right is a "Google's Data Purchase Request" column that lists all of this "Customer Behavior" data as "not included".
The Register is not a serious publication and completely missed this. Other outlets reporting this story do not include the claim that customer data is included.
