Gmail rolled out an update on October 10, 2025, and a lot of people didn't notice what it actually does. 
Google's Gemini can now automatically scan everything in your inbox - emails, attachments, receipts, financial docs, all of it - to train their Al and build ad profiles. 
If you don't want that, you can turn it off.

1. Open Gmail in your browser 
2. Go to All Settings 
3. Under General, scroll to Smart features and personalization 
4. Uncheck the box 
5. Then go to Google Workspace → Smart features → Manage Workspace and toggle off both smart-feature settings. 

That's it - you've opted out.
