With a new week comes another improvement in Google services. This time it's Gmail, including its mobile app for smartphones running the operating system Android. Google has said some time ago that it plans to introduce a setting that will allow users to decide how their private data is used.

Owners of Google accounts now have the option to decide whether their data from Gmail, Meet and Chat services will be used for the purpose of processing smart functions across software products from Google. At first glance, it may seem like a daunting formulation, but the practice is relatively simple. By smart functions, Google specifically means in the case of Gmail, for example, the automatic sorting of e-mail messages into the categories Promotions, Social Networks and Updates. Other smart functions include Smart Compose for creating e-mail messages, summary cards for purchases, reservations and baggage tracking, or adding events to Google Calendar based on data obtained from e-mail messages.
Google Account holders around the world will gradually receive notifications, based on which they will be able to decide whether they want to allow the use of data for the purposes of selected smart functions, or whether to completely disable the use of this data. In this context, however, Google warns that denying access to the mentioned data may result in impaired functioning of the services in question. It also points out that denying access will have no effect on the ability to use services from Google. In this context, Google further adds that allowing or denying access will not affect the displayed ads, as users' personal data is not used for these purposes. The rollout of the changes should begin gradually over the next few weeks.
