Tooltip information is not generally transferred to Google: the data
goes from your server to the client. If you're using GGeoXml, then
that *is* transferred to Google first.

Bear in mind that you are publishing this "personal sensitive data" on
the internet for all to see (and for Google to find, along with the
rest of your site). That probably contravenes German data protection
law. It would almost certainly do so in the UK, and the laws are based
on the same European Directive.

Don't publish anything you haven't already seen (or would not be happy
to see) in Bild or Stern.
