I believe that encryption would solve the privacy issues with GMail and
other Google services. But can only Google do that ? Or is this possible
to find third-parties similar to Scroogle that provide such encryption
functionality ?
If you are talking about using an HTTPS connection to read your e-mail in GMail... there's a Greasemonkey userscript that makes that happen.

But this only attempts to keep your (network) communications with Google's servers private. You still have the problem that your data (that you want private) is on Google's servers. And they may give or share that data with other people.
See ya
