+ ADDEDNew 'Google User Data' section added

DigitalOcean added a new section stating that any data it gets from Google APIs (for example, if you connect or sign in with a Google account) will be handled according to Google's own rules for how companies can use that data, including restrictions on how it can be used. It points to the specific DigitalOcean service's own documentation for details on what Google data that service accesses and how it's used.
