Has Google has actually done this? According to Google, they don't sell personal information:

I'm willing to believe they've broken this promise, but if you can point to some actual proof, I'd like to see it.

Google does not sell personal information, they rent it out. Targeted advertising and remarketing relies upon building up a huge dossier on each Internet user and then matching those dossiers to ad bids.
