So you don't like the amount of "snooping" Google is doing on "your data", here are some alternatives:
Replace your Android phone with another brand, perhaps a flip phone.
Use Duck-Duck-Go for all your internet searches - https://duckduckgo.com/
Change your email provider, or encrypt all your emails - Heres my PGP Key ID - DCFB8830
Use another map provider, like Maps for iOS or your in-vehicle navigation system. People use Google because it works! Plain and simple. If you don't want a company to have your data, don't give that company your data. Lastly, I quoted "snooping" and "your data" for a reason. If you use a companies infrastructure for email, searching, etc, the data you post or receive does not belong to you any longer because you do not own the infrastructure. So Google is not snooping when they collect certain metrics from the data you willingly give them, and since you like the service they provide, usually free of course, you are going to continue to hand over your data.
