These smart features, while offering ease of work, need a lot of personalization data in order to make them effective. Now Google has introduced a new Privacy Checkup feature that will allow users to easily review key settings and see (and delete) the data that Google collects to provide with smart features. Through the statement, the company also clarified that Google ads are not based on user’s personal data in Gmail, no matter the choice. If the user decides not to use smart features and personalization, they will still be able to use Gmail and other Google products. The choice to toggle on or off these smart features can be accessed via Gmail settings.
