If Google were to release a rideshare service, would they be allowed to data mine Gmail for the competitive data? Is that in their ToS?

- jacquesm 10y agoThey shouldn't but Google does not have much in terms of Chinese Walls internally. The contents of your gmail account or youtube history could easily affect your search results.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoI am pretty sure Google's allowed to use any of your data for two purposes: Improving their services (which arguably, your example would fall under) or for promotional purposes. One of the big changes a couple years ago was when they unified all their terms and privacy policies under one that applied to your entire account. So I don't think there'd any longer be any distinction between where the data came from and which Google product they were using it for.
