Wait, what? Is this some weasel word soup going on?
I do not believe this for one second.
- gipp 6y agoWhat about this is unbelievable to you?

- ciarannolan 6y agoThat the largest for-profit, personal data collection effort on earth would not try to exploit data about email, calendars, photos, files, etc. to sell me more stuff? What about that is believable to you? You just take them at their word and call it a day?
- season2episode3 6y agoI'd actually take them at their word that they don't sell your data directly. That'd be fucked up. They do, however, use your data to make money by slotting you into segments and selling the anonymized _segment_ data to advertisers. It's still extremely invasive, just in a sorta subtle way. Selling your data directly is the sort of behavior I'd expect out of companies that are evil and don't care about being seen as evil (see: wireless carriers, "location intelligence" companies, etc)
