DNS queries aren’t considered personal information in the US. They’re considered metadata. So, they can correlate the queries according to this wording.

Also, the wording implies they can aggregate data, then use it for other purposes (like spying on competitive web sites, etc.)

Finally, it implies they are retained, which means law enforcement has access to the logs (in many cases, without a subpoena).
