I am not familiar with the code, but I believe:
- the sync protocol works over https only
- the data as stored on Google's servers is not encrypted in such a
way that Google can't see it

(it used to be the case that your bookmarks would show up in google

- recent versions of Chrome can use a local password to encrypt your
passwords before sending to Google
