Great now my problems are in Google's data stores for advertisement and any number of other uses.

Using Google to authenticate with a site does not share the site's data with Google.
Not directly, anyways. Google still gets to track which pages you visited and what you searched while trying to answer questions you interact with on the site.
No, Google does not track your activity on third-party sites, or the pages you visit there, or the data you enter there, just because you authenticated with your Google account.
Yeah I'm open to the idea of a site like this, but I have a major concern that this is like the gold mine of data for product designers and marketing people to help sell you something that dosnt really help.
