The best way to de-google ur phone is to install a custom rom without gapps and use alternative apps for those google apps. It's a hectic process but very much doable. U lose some conveniences too. And I'm sure there r ways they can track/watch u via custom roms too since the core os is android. I'm not an expert though, correct me if I'm wrong.
