As soon as we search for anything on the Internet, ads related to it start appearing, naturally, a question arises in the mind that how does Google know our preferences. In fact, depending on the online activity, ads can be shown according to your preferences. Now, after the new privacy policy of Google, the discussion has also started regarding the data of Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photos.

In changing its policy, the company said that under certain conditions, information related to these services can be used by other Google services to show personalized ads. However, this does not mean that every email or photo you send will go directly to advertising companies. Your permissions and account settings play an important role in this.

This can only happen if the user gives permission to use the information related to other services. Its method will depend on the policies of those services and your settings.
