Do you use gmail?
If you are signed up for gmail or any of the other google services, you presumably have logged in at some point and so they know who you (said you) are. If you use adsense they know your address and financial information. They potentially have a history of everything you search for, at what time, where from, etc.
Its a good job Google "do no evil" really!
