Google Inc. is telling lawmakers that it never dissected or used any of
the information that it accidentally sucked up while collecting data about
public Wi-Fi networks in more than 30 countries.
...
For now, Google is retaining the data collected in the United States to comply
with a court order stemming from pending civil litigation. The company has
deleted data that came from Ireland, Denmark and Austria at the request of
authorities in those countries.

What about the other 25 or so countries?
