Can Google Harvest Data from the Google Map API?

The question came up about our use of the Google Map API. We have Google maps which we populate with XML data. Can Google harvest that data when a user views it? For example: a map is showing employees, their locations and their salaries (fictitious example).
Best answer: Yes, the data you send via the Google Maps API is covered by the same terms as any other data you send Google and can be used for any purpose covered by the general Google privacy policy. See Section 11.1 of the Maps API Terms of Service.

From a terms of service perspective, I don't know.
