Except that if you use Google, you're openly granting them access to your 
data.

Google makes it possible to review the data they have about you as well, 
through your account settings.  But the basic premise is if you want to 
keep something private, don't share it.

I use Google extensively, and I'm OK with them having the data on me they 
have.  I occasionally review that data, and if there's something that I 
would rather they not have, I deal with it - but I'm under no illusions 
about whether or not they may have retained a copy of it, even if I 
removed it.

Just like Facebook.
