Google may use Gmail/Drive/Photos data for ads if linked to AI features
Google updated its privacy policy. It added an exception to its previous promise not to use Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos data for personalized ads: if you make data from these services available to other Google services that support personalized ads, it may be used for targeting. Users who connect these services to AI Mode and other Search tools could be affected.
What's in it for you?
If you use these AI features, review your ad and data‑sharing settings. Consider limiting connections on accounts that handle customer data.
