Google Updates Terms to Allow Workspace Data for Ads if Personalized Features Are Enabled
Google updated its terms: if users authorize Search or Gemini to access Gmail, Drive, or Photos data for personal features, that data may inform ads on services like YouTube. The setting defaults to off, controlled by the user.
Google updated terms on personalization and ads, linked to its Personal Intelligence feature. If users allow Search or Gemini to access Workspace data like Gmail, Drive, or Photos, that info may inform personalized ads on services like YouTube. Google maintains its policy of not directly serving personalized ads within those apps, and the setting in My Ad Center remains off by default, requiring user opt-in.
Key takeaways
- Authorizing Search or Gemini to access Gmail, Drive, or Photos for personalized features may influence ads shown on services like YouTube.
- The integration relies on user consent within My Ad Center settings, which remain turned off by default.
