Google may use Gmail and Google Photos data for targeted ads

Google has updated its privacy policy to allow targeted ads based on data from Gmail and Google Photos, if users opt into personalized AI features. This change means that anyone who connects their Drive, Gmail, or Google Photos to AI Mode and other Search tools may now see ads targeted on the basis of that content. Advertisers will not get access to personal details like names or email addresses, and Google will not show ads based on sensitive categories like race or religion. The policy update adds an exception to its promise about not using Drive, Gmail, or Google Photos for personalized ads, allowing users to choose whether to share their data for better AI recommendations and more personalized ads.
