Updated Google privacy policy says your Gmail might be used for advertising
Turning on Personal Intelligence gives the company more data for ad targeting.
Google's updated privacy policy suggests your Gmail content may be used for advertising purposes. The change, spotted by Android Authority on October 16, appears to remove the previous restriction on using data from Gmail, Drive, and Photos for ad personalization. Previously, Google stated it wouldn't use sensitive data from these apps for ad personalization.
However, the updated policy now implies that data could be shared with other Google services, including Personal Intelligence. This mechanism allows users to integrate data from multiple apps with Google AI products, aiming to enhance AI responses. Nevertheless, this development has raised significant privacy concerns.
