Google Visualization API and Google Charts API ... Do I understand
correctly that Visualization API does not send unencryted client data
over the web, while Charts API DOES send client data over the web?

Any clarification appreciated.

The Image Charts send data to Google's servers unencrypted.  Most Visualization Charts (with the notable exception of the Image Charts wrapper) do not transmit any data - all processing and rendering occurs in the user's browser.  See the Data Policy section for any charts you are interested in (ex: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/areachart.html#Data_Policy) to be certain.
