I would say gmail is about the worst, it tracks all your movements and sends you advertising relating to your movements.

Of course there are all sorts of privacy switches you can turn off and on, including location tracking and history. You should do that on your phone if you object to location tracking. And, I don't get sent advertising from Gmail--do you mean advertising emails? They don't scan your Inbox if that's what you mean. Sure, if you purchase something in the store or a service you can receive ads in your email, but you can also opt out like any other advertiser. Google collects a lot of information about your interests and serves you ads, but not specifically in Gmail. So does every other online service. I use an ad blocker in my browser, and Gmail does a great job of blocking spammy ads, phishing, hackers, etc., so I rarely see an email I have not signed up for.
