The Google Mobile Services aka Google Play Services aka Google Services about send every 20 minutes email address, hardware serial number, IMEI of the device, IP address, user statistics of apps, SIM card serial and phone number to Google LLC in the USA. This basically affects all Android users who have Google Play Services installed on their device.
Google reads along.
Google continues to evaluate emails automatically, even if you don't use Gmail yourself. As a Gmail user, you should keep in mind that every incoming and outgoing email is automatically scanned and analyzed by Google. Google merely no longer uses the content or meta data for interest-based advertising.
A lot of information can be gained from the emails, which Google can assign to a profile, for example: Who you are in contact with and when, subject, sender, links, keywords, readout of all calendar entries (e.g., club sports, couples counseling, etc.), evaluation of data points (see Facebook example) such as: Place of residence, age, education level, house size, interests.
Those who do not use Gmail themselves, but maintain contact with Gmail addresses, can assume that Google also scans these mails. And not just email. Photos and videos you save, documents and spreadsheets you create, and comments you write on YouTube videos are also evaluated. "A Gmail user may have consented to the analysis of their email content. But for someone who doesn't have a Gmail account, this agreement doesn't apply - and yet, when sent to Gmail accounts, "third-party" content is also scanned and evaluated. For precisely every reason, by the way, I use a Gmail auto-responder that sends Gmail users a notice. If you don't use Gmail, you should be critical of your communication with Gmail contacts. Because no one can guarantee that Google does not create shadow profiles, such as Facebook creates about non-users," writes Mike Kuketz in his microblog on 31.03.2021, 11:58 CEST.
