Life's a gamble. Crossing the road on your way to work is gamble. Heck it's a gamble that you won't be taken out in the next 12 months by an insidious disease.
The bet I have placed personally is that Google is better at looking after my personal data that I am - so for example I use gmail instead of my own email server.
The difference is you can stop crossing the road and the risk is gone. You can‘t „unexpose“ your data to any company as they most probably will fail to delete your data (or then start to collect again).
