Google has been very open about everything they know about you and has done a great job at allowing you to control it:

https://myaccount.google.com/dashboard

https://adssettings.google.com/

This is more than what any other company does.

You can choose to trust another company. I choose to trust Google.

(Disclaimer: I worked at Google several years ago, and my trust in the company has only increased after my time there.)

"You can choose to trust another company."

Voice recognition can and should only happen locally via open software, like keystrokes (which Google also thinks they have a right to), then no one has to be trusted.

Wow, that’s awesome that I can turn off all the creepy features! They should put this button on the homepage ;-)
