At the moment, Pokemon Go requires full access to a players Gmail account. As seen in the picture provided, Niantic essentially can save and utilize the information of anyone who signed into Pokemon Go and retain this information even after they delete their account.
If you plan on keeping Pokemon Go, ensure that your password is not shared with any other account.

Is it worth it? in a word...YUP! Plus I'm sure that many of us have such uninteresting lives, especially if we are gonna spend time playing Pokemon Go. It's like the government is weeding out who isn't a threat to our nation. Ha!

A few ideas to make play more secure:
1. Setup a Gmail account solely for the playing of Pokemon, or other like games.
2. Disable the camera feature (in-game).
3. Don't walk into traffic, why I see people with their head down playing is odd. The game will alert you if you are close to a Pokemon.
4. Play smart. Don't go walking into an unknown area...
