Thanks for that link, Sue!
If this is true and not misleading, we don't have that much to complain about:
>> "You can opt-out of the use of your email and other personal information for the personalization of Gmail ads from the Ads Settings page, by turning off Ads based on your interests. "
When Google said that they only scan our mail for keywords, I'm reminded of one landlord that liked to walk through my apartment any time she liked, when I was absent, and do things like open and close windows, which she defined as "necessary".
She said I should not worry about privacy because she "wouldn't look at anything" while inside my apartment.
So I guess it would have been OK with her if I broke into her bedroom as long as I claimed that I wouldn't look at anything?
Oh, well, even wishing for privacy as if it were still possible just proves that I must be very old.
