The Google Policy Team - We have now verified that we are no longer detecting PII

ISSUE: Got this strange email unexpectedly from Google Adsense

Publisher ID: ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXX


Dear Publisher,

We have now verified that we are no longer detecting PII being passed to Google from the account(s) under your control.

Thank you for helping to resolve this matter.

Regards,

The Google Policy Team

NOTES: I got this email after enabling the Google Adsense Plugin, I also added a few new sites to webmaster tools so I'm not sure why I got the email 

RESEARCH DONE: 

It seems like the notifications were sent in error overall but my own personal feeling is that it does come from Webmaster tools, not google adsense and it has to do with connecting your website to a wordpress plugin or another app that transfers your personal google account across the internet.

SOLUTION: 

I don't think this is a publishers security breach. I would love to hear what anyone else has to say about this issue for the time being I'm going to leave this one as resolved on my end and will blog more if I get any follow up notifications

Why is googleads.g.doubleclick.net showing up in my adsense reports ?

I looked all over the internet to find a quick simple explanation for this. After reading a few google help documents and doing some research online, reading others experiences.

 I found that, the reason for this is that "googleads.g.doubleclick.net"  to keep track of Adwords sites and Adsense click revenue google uses a system called Auto tagging, basically what it does it appends some text to the end of your URLs for tracking revenue and what users do on your site to determine the cost. When you bookmark pages it throws this information off as you are coming in from a URL that might have been previously generated. This is why you might see it in your adsense account. If you are using google adwords make sure not to link directly to the generated URL as it will provide google with the wrong tracking data = cost.

Why is semalt.com in adsense

I have no idea who this company is but they keep coming up in my adsense account here is all the information.

over all don't trusted it!!
After researching all over google, yahoo and bing I find several reports asking:

things like:

> Does anyone know who is semalt.com
> Is this a hack or a threat ?
> will it effect my Adsense ratings ?
> Very suspicious site who is this?

after looking at the site it looks like it wants you to sign in here is the who is info below. I think they are doing it to get you to go to their site and start looking for them is like a reverse marketing scheme.
