Sorry to hear about the SO finding the phone. But whether you have a contract phone or a burn phone would not matter in this case.
Since you asked, what you should do is hide the phone better! When not in use, take the battery our of the phone and hide it in a 2nd location. Keep the phone in plain site, you know that drawer we all have with all the electronic crap (cables, earphones, old phone we no longer use......)
As to google, do some research on your own and I think you will be way, way surprised at what google is doing with our personal information.
I try to discretely find out if a Provider has a smart-phone. If yes, I try to ascertain her level of use and understanding of what the dangers are for using a smartphone in this world of ours. If they are clue-less ("sure I use Facebook, yep I use my smartphone to access my hobby email, i can access my P411 account from my smartphone, the signature line in an email indicates using a smartphone, etc) I usually move to the DNS list. I am at a 99.9% no-see statistic or do not see a second time statistic using this screening.
Happy Holiday to all,
Be well, stay safe,
