Hi Vaughn, Simply showing markers or polylines will not send those locations to Google, but there are many API functions that may: for instance, if you request directions between two of your locations, those locations *must* be sent to Google's servers as that is where directions are calculated. There are also other things to consider, as outlined in the Maps APIs Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. You can look there for more information, though you can always open up the developer console in your browser and see exactly what information is being sent and when.
