Isn't this controlled by the "Gmail smart features" setting, which they explicitly had a modal dialog for last year, to make everyone explicitly decide to enable or disable?

Seems a bit odd for the poster to enable it, and then complain. The text seems fairly clear.
Oh, wait... The screenshot shows the Takeout as being from 2019. Why post about it now?
- morsch 5y agoI assume they did that because they had to (GDPR, the blog post is tagged as Google in Europe, even if they did it worldwide). I think I opted in. In typical Google fashion, you had either the choice to enable everything or nothing. I want the tabbed inbox, I don't want smart compose, or assistant integration or... anything else from that post, really. They also lock all kinds of basic features of Google Maps (like manually set and store my home address) behind the permission to record, store and processes indefinitely my location history.
- throwdecro 5y ago> Isn't this controlled by the "Gmail smart features" setting... I just went through the Google's "Privacy Checkup" and it wasn't clear to me where this setting is. Also is the Takeout from 2019, or are there purchases from 2019 in a current Takeout? What specifically are you looking at in the screenshot?
