I noticed Amazon has stopped informing you what you actually purchased in their confirmation emails (though the emails still have other purchase suggestions in them). I'm guessing that might be partially to prevent the info from being conveyed to Google in Gmail.

I would get push notifications from Gmail and I was able to know what was the mail about without access to Gmail. But, for Facebook I would only get "You got a message". And that was totally unhelpful. Now, I knew that I had a message that I was not able to access too. Seriously infuriating.
- Corrado 6y agoI think it can be for both giving less data to Google and to get you to re-engage at Amazon.
- three_seagrass 6y agoNope. Google hasn't been mining gmail emails since 2017.
