I'm fairly certain legally they must cease spying and delete all your data if you ask, the problem obviously being that asking is made to be nearly impossible and they only delete their copy and won't tell you who it was sold to. So you have to ask every single one in the world to remove it, which is impossible. And of course the obvious problem that they tie functionality to consent, so if you tell them off then it just won't run.
These laws however are why the government allows it, because it circumvents all the protections Americans might have against illegal searching all the way from that 4th Amendment. Sure they could do it anyway because whose gonna arrest them, but this allows them to do it completely legally and not give a shit. They win on technicality.
