Collecting the data required to provide a specific service is a far cry from what is happening with Google et al. AND I still expect even small business to take reasonable steps to protect what little data they did obtain. When I give business X certain details I am making a choice for my dealings with
that business. It's a clear up front choice. If I discovered that the convenience store down the street was abusing my trust then I would not shop there. But as a rule such businesses don't do that (or not at scale, I'm sure some gossip happens). One of the reasons why they don't is that their customers expect better of them.
