Privacy
Privacy concerns include the storing of data regarding payment information, transaction details, payment attempts and other information stored by Google indefinitely. The Privacy Policy for Google Wallet indicates that much of the data is stored but may not be shared outside Google except under certain circumstances. The Privacy Policy also indicates that transaction details are not "currently" stored by Google, leaving speculation that users' transaction details may be stored at some point. The storage of such personal information about users' transactions is of significant financial value to a company that earns much of its revenue from data, but may be controversial to users aware of the policies.

—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“... privacy is ... connected to a politics of domination.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
