Google used to show personalized ads based on your emails but that process is supposedly stopped. Now Google reads your emails still to filter out spam and sort it into its default folders for promotions etc. Also I guarantee I went directly to a website for a product, a vitamin, which I never searched for and purchased it and then received ads for the exact product and brand I purchased for the next week on Google searches and other Google ads and that was after they supposedly stopped personalizing ads. I don’t know if it was the credit card company, or Google analytics being installed on their website, or then just selling my data but it was obvious that someone was sharing my data and I wasn’t being told about it. Lastly just last week I had been searching for a bed on Google, a very specific California king bed so that I could try to find the lowest price. Literally the day after I bought the bed, my girlfriend saw that exact model of bed appear on her Facebook ads. She had never searched for the bed or any bed but was browsing from the same IP address as me so I assume and that’s how they targeted her. https://www.google.com/amp/s/variety.com/2017/digital/news/google-gmail-ads-emails-1202477321/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/variety.com/2017/digital/news/g...
