That’s not how the real world works. You will be kicked out of the workplace and rightly so.

does that make it morally okay to do with your colleagues?

like, jfc, these are fucking people were talking about building “dossiers” of. people the person works with where a degree of trust and bonding is necessary. people they probably spend at least a quarter of their waking hours interacting with.

and your defence for it is “well, google does it”.

the best engineers know what not to build. they don’t build every single thing under the sun because they can.

also, don’t you have to explicitly agree to google’s terms for that stuff to use their services?
