You said gmail was public data, but now you're saying anything happening on an Android phone is public info?
I think the problem of privacy is oversimplified. It can be used to your benefit and/or detriment depending on who is using your data for what purpose. E.g. if a bike-sharing app is using location data to plan where to have bikes available so people are generally satisfied with the bike selection wherever they are, that's good; but if they do the opposite in order to cause people to take a ride-share instead, i.e. because it makes more money for them, then it's dubious that they would use information for that (exploitative) purpose.
