Google provides the exact same privacy preferences on Android / Google ecosystem: the ability to enable/disable personalized ads, deviceId which is unique to the device, can be reset. The ability to delete your data automatically. It does not sell or share your data.
I don't like personalized ads, but we can't hail Apple for being a champion of privacy when its basically doing the same things Google does.
