Google just changed its privacy policy, and your Gmail and Photos data could now help pick the ads you see. 😳📧
For years Google's privacy policy said it doesn't show personalized ads based on your content from Drive, Gmail or Photos. On October 16, 2026 it quietly added a catch: "unless you choose to make data from these services available to other Google services that support personalized ads." That choice is Personal Intelligence, the opt-in AI feature that connects Gmail, Photos and Drive to Gemini and to AI Mode in Search. So if you've switched it on, what AI search learns from your data can now shape your ads.
Google says connecting apps is entirely opt-in, ads "will not be based directly on your Gmail inbox or Photos library," advertisers don't get your data or personal details like your name and email, and sensitive categories like health or religion are never used for ads.
👉 Want out? Google Account → Data & privacy → Personalized Recommendations in Search services → disconnect apps from Personal Intelligence, or turn it off.
Will you keep Personal Intelligence on? Drop your take below 👇
