Nice try, but Apple isn't in the data selling business like Alphabet/Google/YouTube/Android/FaceBook/Twitter are. Apple doesn't collect such data. If you allow Google and their browsing ads on your devices, that's your fault. There are alternatives. Apple sells privacy. . . and does not even have access to your data. Only YOU have your password to your encrypted data.

That being said, anything you send, email, or phone in the clear is open to the government via the carriers.

Apple's proprietary Messaging app, however, is end-to-end encrypted to a 256 bit AES standard, so that is safe.
