Data that is collected while you are logged in can be ascribed to that particular accountholder, regardless of what machine in the world is being used, and can be stored on Google's servers.

Data collected when you are not logged in can, at best, be ascribed only to the particualr IP address being used, along with any data stored in local persistent cookies.
