No Strings Attached?

Let's say you meet a stranger that gives you a bottle of orange juice out of the blue. You don't know anything about him, about his intentions or about the orange juice. Do you take it? Do you trust him or you refuse his offer, thinking that there must be some string attached.

You look at the privacy policy, try to decrypt the legal language or you trust Google and write private documents online?
