Now Google says it might use your Gmail and Google Photos data to target ads

Google has updated its privacy policy to allow targeted ads based on data from Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos if users enable the company's Personal Intelligence feature for AI tools. Previously, Google promised not to use these services for personalized ads, but the new terms create an exception for users who connect them to AI features like Search and Gemini. While advertisers won't access identifying information or sensitive categories, users can opt out by disconnecting specific apps from the Personal Intelligence feature.
