Ultimately I think that there's a difference between using data that's personal and breaching privacy. For example, I'm totally okay with the google maps app using my phone's GPS to determine my current location. What I'm not okay with is google maps secretly sneaking away that location information and giving it back to google the company. That's a breach of privacy.
I get that there's nothing illegal that you may be doing. However, what if your personal data was saved well enough that it could be used against you in the future when social mores have changed? What if in 20 years watching porn is akin to armed robbery, and while you're trying to go for an elected office Google just happens to leak information about your porn habits 20 years ago in order to affect the election's outcome?
Personal data can be used to control people - both literally that individual and people in general - so it makes sense to be wary of anyone who wishes to amass lots of personal data.
