Can you point to some links on Google sharing data with third parties? AFAIK they don't share any data. You want to target a certain demographic they will target for you but they won't pass on the data. They keep the data internal.

If you install some 3rd party app and give that app permission to access your data they'll give that app the access you requested them to give but otherwise no sharing AFAIK.

If I target users based on a specific criteria and I know they came from google then that information about them is passed. Raw data isn't much use anyways,that's why google and fb aren't afraid to share with users what they collect. The analysis and targrting donewith that data is what users should be concerned about.
