Even if they do have a decent privacy policy for their DNS service, they do store geographic information which I think is unacceptable for a DNS provider. I've considered running my own DNS resolver, however the problem is that I use a Soekris Net6501 embedded PC as my home server which is also running the Tor node, and I think a DNS resolver would simply cause too much overheat on this box.

Again, I know nothing about Google's DNS service.  I do know they've 
been sued over or have been the target of serious outcries from privacy 
advocates & users, over their policies AND violating their own policies.

Axiom:  Google don't do nothin' for free.  There's something in it for 
them.  What - I've no idea.  Any contract or policy is only as good as 
the word of the company behind it - unless one wants to take them to court.

If one trusts Google to ensure privacy & / or anonymity, in spite of 
their long track record, well...

Why would they store geo info - & ONLY geo info?  Maybe to help 
understand where they need more / less capacity for DNS resolvers? Or 
something else?
