Unless I'm misunderstanding something, this seems worse than lying to me. The primary concern addressed by this point is: as an American citizens, will they store my information? The intellectually honest answer to that question is something along the lines of "yes, there's a very good chance we will", but they've worded this point to make it seem like the answer is "no". In doing so, they get away with lying while being able to claim they are not. On balance, this seems more likely to deceive the electorate than a straight-out lie would be; such a lie would be more likely to be called out and uncovered.
I'm not even close to a lawyer, so again, I may be misunderstanding. But that's how I read it.
