We're training Smart Compose from highly anonymized global corpus of consumer email. We've stopped using emails for Ad targeting entirely, and the enforcement is quite strict, as reported in June: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/23/technology/gmail-ads.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/23/technology/gmail-ads.html

You don't have an email in your profile, so I'm just gonna hijack this comment. :) I can't enable smart compose. My general tab doesn't have "Enable experiments" at the bottom. Is this getting rolled out in phases? I logged out and logged back in just in case, but no dice. My email is in my profile if you need it. Thanks!

  Rolling out over the course of the day. We'll be at 100% in a couple hours. Thanks for your patience. :)

> highly anonymized global corpus of consumer email. I read this as confirmation that, if I were a Gmail customer, that you would indeed be using my personal emails to train your models. For me, I then have to wonder what "highly anonymized" means in this context. Does this means that users' emails are put through yet another processing pipeline to separate emails into anonymous / not-anonymous buckets or to redact personally identifying information?

[H]ighly anonymized global corpus of consumer email. What do you mean by "highly anonymized"? What specific privacy notion are you using, and what is the (demonstrably unavoidable) tradeoff you are de facto threading between utility and privacy?
