Updated Google privacy policy says your Gmail might be used for advertising
Google updated its privacy policy on October 16, removing the explicit promise that Gmail, Drive, and Photos content would not be used for personalized ads. The new wording leaves the door open for ad personalization when that data is shared with other Google services — notably via Personal Intelligence, its feature that ingests multi-app data to improve AI answers. Why it matters: the world's largest ad company has quietly dismantled a long-standing privacy firewall around users' most sensitive data.
