    Sure and Google is not a data broker. Look at how good uses your data they are transparent about it. And your link talks about apps selling data.

      I looked more into it and Google doesn’t sell the data, that’s true, but they disclose it as a part of them selling ad spaces.

      Google monetizes personal data in other ways, some of which involve disclosing personal data to third parties. One of those ways is real-time bidding system (RTB) that powers Google Adsense.

      In a nutshell, a website makes advertising spaces available for advertisers through Google Adsense’s intermediation. Several advertisers bid for the same advertising spaces whenever a visitor loads a page in an automated real-time auction. This real-time bid involves disclosing personal data to advertisers to cater their ads better.
