I don't know how Google stores and uses the data gathered by keyword parsing and subjecting/contextualizing my emails. Or what info the advertiser/destination gets or can infer.
It could be a potential privacy violation if the data is hacked, leaked, used to gather intel on my business, analyzed, backed up for eternity, accessed by 3rd party, etc.

Hotmail does not analyze your emails for keywords. They display ads on other, less intrusive, factors.
- icebraining 15y agoYou don't know how Hotmail stores your emails either, do you?
- powertower 15y agoThe point is that I know Google parses the contents of my emails for keywords and then transfers that data around its ad systems (at the least). And hence presents an extra way for things to go horribly wrong. I also know Hotmail (by it's own admission) does not do this. Aside from running emails through a spamfilter, I'd rather not have my email provider gather intel on me via the contents of my emails.
