This is slightly different too. The safe browsing list itself is not a ping
-- it's only pulled down and checked locally. There's only a "ping" when
there is a match, and that ping uses a hashed partial copy. Google also
claims in a FAQ that log data is "retained only for a period of weeks",
although notably they don't say this in the actual privacy policy (which has
been subsumed into the Chrome browser privacy policy).
