Dude.yes. They just this year stopped scanning keywords in your email body for advertising purposes. I won't say don't use gmail,maybe the risk is acceptable to you. But I highly recommend paying for protonmail. > When you compose an email to a valid gmail account, it will provide you with additional details of the account, if the user provides it, even if you have never corresponded previously via email. This works for emails with @gmail and also @somebusiness This isn't surprising,google probably thinks the usefulness of such a feature is more important than privacy of the recipient. This is their M.O., what little pseudo-privacy you get with a google product is via opt-out. My mini-rant aside,as a business owner, I suppose google auto filling your contact metadata in that scenario would not be a bad thing(but then again, just about every controversial feature of a google product benefits business owners seeking to advertise on their platform)
