Google Denies Using Gmail Data to Train Gemini AI Amid Viral Claims
Viral Claims Spark Privacy Concerns
Social media has recently been flooded with posts alleging that Google is mining emails and attachments to power Gemini. Many users speculated that Google quietly updated its privacy policy to allow the use of Gmail data for AI training, advising others to disable Gmail’s “smart features” to avoid being included.
Google strongly disputes these claims. Speaking to The Verge, company spokesperson Jenny Thomson stated:
“These reports are misleading – we have not changed anyone’s settings, Gmail Smart Features have existed for many years, and we do not use your Gmail content for training our Gemini AI model.”
Despite the reassurance, the claims have prompted many users to recheck their Gmail settings.
What’s Actually Going On With Gmail’s Smart Features
Confusion stems from a January update that let users enable or disable smart features separately across Google services. For example, you can turn off smart features in Gmail, Calendar, and Docs while leaving them on for Maps or Wallet.
However, The Verge also reported that some users experienced a silent reset of these settings, re-enabling features they had previously turned off. While it remains unclear how common this issue was, it fueled speculation that Google was subtly pushing users toward data-sharing.
These smart features are more than typo fixes—they power email summarisation, order tracking, and automatic calendar updates. When enabled, Google Workspace explains that it uses your content to personalise your experience across Workspace.
Google stresses that this personalisation is local to the user, not used to train Gemini or any large-scale AI model. The company maintains that Gmail data improves Gmail—for you, not for Google’s AI.
Gemini 3 Takes Center Stage
The controversy comes as Google launches Gemini 3, its most advanced AI model yet. CEO Sundar Pichai describes it as capable of interpreting information with “human-like depth and nuance,” combining multimodal understanding, long-context reasoning, and agentic behaviors.
“Gemini 3 is state-of-the-art in reasoning, built to grasp depth and nuance—whether it’s perceiving subtle creative cues or unraveling overlapping layers of a complex problem,” Pichai wrote in a recent blog post.

Swift rollout following Adobe–Google partnership
The announcement came through an official Adobe press release, highlighting the remarkably fast turnaround — arriving less than two weeks after the companies revealed their expanded strategic partnership. Under this collaboration, Adobe users gain access to Google’s frontier AI models across key creative apps including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Firefly.
Adobe also confirmed that Creative Cloud Pro and Firefly subscribers will enjoy unlimited AI image generation until December 1. This applies not only to Firefly’s native models but also to select third-party AI engines.

Dhwajarohan at Ram Mandir: Yogi Adityanath Calls It a New Era
Dhwajarohan at Ram Mandir Marks Beginning of a New Era: Yogi Adityanath Speaks
New Delhi:
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath addressed the gathering at the Dhwajarohan ceremony at the Ram Mandir on Tuesday, November 25. The occasion saw Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat hoist the saffron flag atop the temple’s shikhar on Vivah Panchami, marking a significant milestone in India’s socio-cultural and spiritual journey.
Speaking at the ceremony, Yogi Adityanath described the event as “the beginning of a new era.” He said,
“Flag hoisting at the grand temple of Bhagwan Ram in Shri Ayodhya Dham is not the ‘Poornaahuti’ of a Yagya but the start of a new chapter. I thank PM Modi on this occasion on behalf of Ram devotees.”
The UP CM dedicated the day to the revered saints, warriors, and devotees of Lord Ram who had devoted their lives to the temple movement. He added,
“Faith did not bow down and did not stop. When the RSS gained power, one fearless voice rose: ‘Ram Lalla Hum Aayenge, Mandir Wahi Banaenge,’ ‘Lathi Goli Khaenge, Mandir Wahi Banaenge.'”
Yogi Adityanath also congratulated the Karma yogis who sacrificed their lives for the temple.
“This grand temple is a symbol of the faith and self-respect of 140 crore Indians. This flag is proof that the light of Dharma is eternal and the principles of Ram Rajya are timeless. When PM Modi became Prime Minister in 2014, the faith of crores of Indians found expression in this grand temple. This saffron flag represents Dharma, integrity, truth, justice, and Rashtra Dharma.”
The flag-hoisting ceremony symbolizes both the completion of the temple’s construction and the ushering in of a new chapter of cultural celebration and national unity. The saffron flag, a right-angled triangular banner measuring 10 feet in height and 20 feet in length, features a radiant sun representing Lord Ram’s brilliance and valor, the sacred Kovidara tree, and the Om symbol. Crafted from parachute fabric with silk threads, the flag embodies dignity, unity, cultural continuity, and the ideals of Ram Rajya.
Mounted on a 42-foot-high pole atop the 161-foot Shikhar, the flag is inspired by descriptions in the Valmiki Ramayana. Its triangular design represents the divinity, strength, and eternal spirit of Lord Ram.
