Google Updates Privacy Policy to Allow Data for Personalized Ads
Google has revised its privacy policy to allow data from connected Gmail, Drive, and Photos to be used for personalized ads, effective October 16. The change, which adds a conditional clause, means ads can be personalized based on user data from these services, provided the user chooses to make the data available to other Google services that support personalized ads. However, Google emphasizes that content from the services is not used for ad targeting by default, and personally identifying details are not shared without permission.
