Hi Sinan, it is not against the purpose of GNU, the purpose of GNU is to have a Free operating system. Trademarks are not a problem for this purpose.
That document seems outdated, please refer to this one: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/legal/privacy/notices-firefox. In both versions anyway I don't see anything against GNU principles, it is an external service to use as-is. I am not a lawyer to understand consequences completely, does anybody know more about it and if these services are a problem for GNU IceCat?
