I haven't kept up with Gmail because I've left it many years ago, but last I heard they give themselves the permission to parse your emails and serve you targeted ads based on contents of emails you receive.

If the thought of privacy doesn't turn you off, you must love the thought of unsolicited marketing emails getting amplified through ads that Google serves you.

Stopped doing it in 2017 (according to them). https://fox59.com/news/google-will-no-longer-read-your-email...

That checks out, I switched to protonmail in 2014 and haven't looked around since. Surprised they reversed on this, but glad that was addressed.
