What evidence do you have of that? Google just uses this data on your behalf to make their services more useful. Purchase analysis was a core launch feature of Google Inbox and now that Inbox is gone the feature is rolled into Gmail. I personally get a lot of value from this feature. I like getting notifications on my mobile when my orders ship and when they are delivered. It also helps me re-order consumable items, which I did just yesterday when the igniters in my gas oven failed (again). I bought them last in 2016 but it was trivial to find the receipt in my purchase history on Google.

If they have something of value, (your purchase history) they must make money off it. Giving you free stuff without getting anything in return is "bad" in the eyes of shareholders in the current unregulated business climate.
- shereadsthenews 7y agoThat's a pretty dumb point of view. It says right at the top of the page on Google's purchase history list that "Only you can see your purchases". A rational person needs some kind of basis to refute this claim.
