Astroturfing by Reddit, screaming that sync steals data (which it doesn't)
It sends telemetry data to about 30 companies. Pretty standard for Google Play tracking and it's not possible to know if the data is being taken advantage of or not.
It's good to be cautious of that. But if you're completely offended by that or if you're completely accepting of that, you should consider the situation better.
Duckduckgo only lists google as the tracker. But includes 36 different tracking things.
