On desktop versions of Chrome, signing into or out of any Google web service, like google.com, signs you into or out of Chrome.
Even if users didn't sign in to their Google Account for their desktop browser, the action of signing in to a Google managed account through the browser automatically connects Chrome to the user account. This connection leads to increased data gathering.
