<pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><category>notable</category><category>AI training</category><description>The privacy policy now says you may let services like Search or Gemini Apps access data from other Google services such as Photos, Gmail and Drive to personalize your experience. The promise not to show personalized ads based on Drive, Gmail or Photos content now has an exception if you make that data available to other Google services that support personalized ads. Ads may also be based on personalized content from Google services. Taken from you: Unconditional promise of no personalized ads based on Drive, Gmail or Photos content now applies only unless you share that data with other Google services; Personalized ads can now draw on personalized content from Google services, not just interests and activity</description></item>
<item><title>Google Maps (EU): Google Maps privacy policy adds &#x27;across devices&#x27; to signed-out ad wording and expands law-enforcement disclosure text</title><link>https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/977078cef234/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/977078cef234/</guid>
<pubDate>Mon, 12 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><category>notable</category><description>The signed-out data section now says preferences and ads may be based on your activity &#x27;across devices&#x27;, and adds a sentence that Google also collects and uses data not associated with your account. The legal-basis table adds wording on disclosing limited data to law enforcement to prevent, detect or investigate crimes, and on disclosing data to law enforcement to prevent an imminent threat to life. Regulator/researcher sharing and age verification were already in the old text, so those parts are not new. Taken from you: Signed-out ad and search personalization may now draw on your activity across devices, not just one browser or device; The legal-basis table now explicitly mentions disclosing limited data to law enforcement to prevent, detect or investigate crimes, and disclosing data to law enforcement to prevent an imminent threat to life.</description></item>
