Do you log in to AirBnB using Google credentials? Perhaps they use an undocumented feature to broadcast the dates to GCal without mail harvesting.

- ctchocula 9y agoNope, using Facebook credentials. That's definitely a possibility. Maybe I'm cynical, but whenever I see qualifiers around a verb I get suspicious. Something like "hey, we're not lying when we said we stopped scanning emails for ad purposes, but we are still scanning to improve other Google ecosystems tools like Calendar".
- distant_hat 9y agoThey scan emails. I have had airline ticket reservations that my friends emailed to me added on my Calendar.
- pvdebbe 9y agoYikes. That would prove it...
