Have you ever had the impression that someone is looking through your emails like they're an open diary?

That's Gmail, the intrusive, excessively amiable software behemoth that claims to be "just trying to help" while snooping on every email you write.

The issue of whether Gmail is the most practical email service in 2025 is not the only one.

The question is whether this "helpful friend" is reliable enough to protect your business and personal secrets.

Google's Little-Known Secret

Gmail is a powerful marketing tool in addition to being an email provider.

Google looks for keywords in every email you send to fuel its advertising algorithms. Did you send your cousin that "limited-time discount"?

Yes, Google noticed as well, and now there are a lot of coupons in your adverts.

But there's still more!

Additionally, Gmail maps your relationships across platforms and keeps track of your contacts.

Have you ever wondered how Google chooses which advertisements to display to you?
