Oh, yes, I missed a sentence: "Which I guess means that Google now also connected that phone number to the mail address/Google account." So I suppose freeflight's concern is what information the friend gave to Google, not what Google gave to the friend or what the friend's phone is displaying to onlookers.
This is how cloud services work. Google stores the friend's contact data, which has a contact with both freeflight's phone number and email address.
What is it you fear that Google is doing with this information? And what would it take for you to be comfortable?

Regardless of whether Google is going to do anything with this data, the fact that tech-literate people aren't able to prevent just this from happening even when trying really hard makes one wonder how any one could avoid anything.
