For example, my phone company provides me a total 2gb of data within my plan for a total month.

The GB version is more specific than the general term “data”. In this case, it specifically refers to 2 billion bytes (each byte being 8 bits, a “bit” being a 1 or a 0). But in the general sense, “data” can be a synonym for “information” which has many definitions, some of which are pure physics concepts.
I learned “information” to be “data” + “context”
Simplified: “3” is data “3 Upvotes” is Information
