Google has revised its privacy policy, opening the possibility that users who engage with its personalized AI tools could start seeing ads tailored to their personal information. The change, identified by Android Authority, introduces an exception to the company’s earlier pledge not to employ data from Drive, Gmail, or Google Photos for personalized advertising. Previously, the policy simply stated that such data would not be used for ads; as of October 16, a new clause reads that this restriction does not apply “unless you choose to make data from these services available to other Google services that support personalized ads.” Consequently, anyone who has linked their Drive, Gmail, or Google Photos to AI Mode or other search features may have that information considered when ads are served.
