Update: 1) Google collects your location with Android, even if you disabled it in the system settings; 2) Facebook (and Google) access to your contacts and use it to make networks; 3) you may give granular permissions to Facebook and Google by rooting your phone and installing a ROM such as Lineage OS or Replicant; and 4) in my country, France, the law allows me to ask them to delete anything I want.
@fluffy I don't know. I'm not into Android ROMs.
I'd suggest people to use ROMs from trusted actors rather than the fancy ones: Fairphone, Replicant…
