gmail privacy case

The term **"Gmail privacy case"** generally refers to legal and regulatory actions or public controversies concerning Google’s handling of users’ Gmail data—particularly how emails are scanned, stored, and used for advertising or security purposes. These cases often focus on whether Google’s automated scanning of email content violates privacy laws, such as the U.S. Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), or users’ reasonable expectations of privacy. Several class-action lawsuits and investigations have examined these issues over the years, most notably around Google’s practice of analyzing email content to personalize ads or improve its services.
