As long as you don't encourage others not to care as well, it's only dangerous for you. By not caring you could make yourself subject to fraud, indentity theft and other crimes. At the very least I would recommend that you review your privacy settings for google: privacy.google.com/take-control.html. For most online services nowadays (maps, drive) you will find a good (maybe not perfect) open-source alternative (openmaps, nextcloud). Being open-source, these alternatives usually provide more privacy out-of-the-box as they have a hard time hiding any malicious code that would spy on you.
