While it was well known for ages that they proof read your emails I was not aware that actual people sit down and read them,
including those who do not belong to Google.
Apparently anybody, who claims they are a 'Developer' have the ability to access and pass on your private life.
Of course they always had that covered somewhere in their several hundred pages of 'terms and conditions' and nicely hidden a method to disable this third party access in your account/mails.
I didn't trust Google even back in the early 2000's.
It was never my search engine of choice, found more neutral and 'to the point' results with others that didn't track you. Quality over quantity.
Never had a Google account and never touched that datamining, spam creating GoogleChrome piece of sh%#.
OpenStreetMaps has improved massively and I find them partly more accurate than Google Maps + I got it all offline in my pocket.
I have got on pretty well without Google and will continue to do so.
I still believe that privacy is a basic human right and NOT a crime but it looks like many(particularly the younger "whatever" gens) are being conditioned to think otherwise.
