I don't mind sharing some of my personal data, so long as I understand what it is being used for. For example, I don't mind Google requesting GPS coordinates from my phone, if I knew it would only be used to send advertisements that are relevant to my locality. It genuinely improves my experience of their service. However, I object to the wording on terms of service that allow companies to build and store a very detailed user profile and use that information across any of their associated services (or even worse share with other associated companies). I deleted my Facebook account in the middle of 2012 for this very reason.
