On one hand, I'm definitely concerned about my privacy and sharing my data.

OTOH, I like to think of Google using my data as a form of a vote. The more data they have on me and tailor experiences using my usage data, the more useful it is and it will be designed to reflect that. So while in elections you may only get one vote for your choice of candidate, Google building on my interactions with an app will mean my voice is taken into consideration.

This is one of the reasons why I tend to share my crash/usage data with developers be it Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc.
