Same here man. I deny them as much personal information as possible and what I do provide from my Google account is provided via a fake name and false info and is always logged on an anonymous proxy or VPN service so that should tell you how little I trust them

If you want another free little tip on how to evade them on your Android device, do what I do: get an Android emulator or a cheap basic smartphone, set it up with a Google account with fake info, connect to the internet via a VPN, then download a .APK extractor to save app installation files to a SD card.

Next on your primary Android devices, stay logged out of Google and go to settings and enable "allow apps from unknown sources" which will let you install the extracted .APK apps onto your Android devices without giving Google access to any personal information. Transfer the SD card over to your devices and start the installation of all of the apps you desire from the emulator or basic android device. Done!

Now you have full functionality on your Android devices WITHOUT needing to use Google. I call this a win-win
