  While this may be true, recently I started using Google Flights and couple of days later I started receiving email ads (ads in Gmail) about flight cancelation insurance. So the link is there.

    That's entirely different to what we're discussing. You will still be targeted based on sites your visited, but not based on emails you receive.

  Language is not clear enough, scan is different from metadata. I can see a lawyer defining scan as checking every word of the content and metadata being account Foo sends email to account Bar. That would be enough to make the connection. Foo account later uses google to search about topic A then topic A is presented to account Bar.
