This was my understanding as well. It's the point of paying. However , it is just "trust me bro" right? It's not like they've been audited for not storing user data? Even just basic logging too could hold user info. Honestly no idea with paid search engines, I know so little.

Even an audit is really just someone else saying "trust me bro". You have some level of trust.
