Ha! I used to work with those guys - I was the networks editor of that
site. They are /very/ keen on security and privacy.

Xmarks encrypt passwords and so on, but bookmarks? Hey, they're just
my bookmarks. Addresses of publically-available websites. Honestly, I
don't care that much who sees them. If data mining through aggregated
collections of bookmarks means Xmarks have found a way to make a
profit while extending me a very handy free service, I am fine with
it.

As Scott McNeally said of customer privacy:
"You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it."
