Personal information:
When you use Gmail, Google's servers automatically record certain
information about your use of Gmail. Similar to other web services, Google
records information such as account activity (including storage usage,
number of log-ins), data displayed or clicked on (including UI elements,
ads, links); and other log information (including browser type, IP-address,
date and time of access, cookie ID, and referrer URL).

privacy and scanning gmail emails for more than just spam.<br>
