Google has only as much data as ones web site transmits to them, by way of the GA/Urchin Scripts.

As one can use GA without using their conversion script, and some users do not, they do not gave conversion data for all.

Still, they really don't need permission in order to use that which they do have if that's what they decide to do. And, who's to know if they do?
