Android Central Question

Is there anyway to get data off my phone without my knowledge with out a spy app
 
If by "spy app," you mean it broadly enough to include any malware capable of stealing your info, then yes one would be needed to do so. Your phone doesn't randomly send info to hackers.

The bigger question is, do you suspect you've been hacked? If so, what are you specifically experiencing leading you to this conclusion? If you create an account here, you'll be able to reply to this thread and then we can give you more specific answers.


EDIT: There is one way to get your info without an app. Not having a lock screen setup and allowing someone unfettered physical access to your phone.
 
This will allow you to create an account. But unless there's a reason to suspect someone stealing your data (you're wealthy, you know government secrets - or, as Mooncatt said, you give your unlocked phone to someone or leave it unlocked and lying around where someone can get to it), there's really no reason to suspect that anyone is looking at your phone or controlling it. (If someone seems to know ore about you than they should, you probably post too much to social media sites.)
