Would you be interested in giving them your phone number? how about your contacts as well? maybe your own voice? apps have you've installed? and when you're not using the app, keep them posted on your location while you're at it too.

Don't you think Google does this to you already?

Ever heard of 'Real Time Bidding?', Google sells your data to advertisers to the highest bidder [0]. Planning on becoming an activist? I've got news for you, law enforcement also want your data and Google sells it to them upon request at any time. [1]

I don't think either of those links say what you think they say.

Do you believe Google when they say 'We do not sell personal information to anyone?'

I know they do, but a lot of their users don't which is unethical. But this comment was about the Jet database listing a use case about speed vectors. There is absolutely nothing unethical about that use case nor technology. All the other issues you list, absolutely, but those are not things Jet does.
