This just looks like a list compiled from invoices/receipts that were sent to my gmail from various vendors that has been parsed. Actually there's a lot of stuff that is missing.

Seems pretty tame actually, but I also don't use gmail for my whole life.

I'm a big advocate of privacy, but I think Google is pretty open about what they do. If you don't want this, there are usually ways to opt out and still use the service, but of course you can always use something else. I've been really enjoying Proton Mail.

Where have they disclosed their deal with MasterCard?

Often the opt outs don't work, and these appear to be "intentional bugs": wifi privacy intentional bug https://www.wired.com/2012/05/google-wifi-fcc-investigation/ google home bug https://bgr.com/2017/10/11/google-home-mini-spying-on-user-f...

And the latest "bug": In Chrome if you turn off "Allow Chrome sign-in", Chrome signs you into the browser anyway, when you sign into Gmail.

Google's "don't be evil" days are a distant memory now.

Fair points, tho I do think I apply Hanlon's Razor a little more liberally there than you do.

Does it matter if the effect is the same?

Thank you, and WOW. I had been on the fence about using a gmail account to register for accounts elsewhere, based on their assurances that they'd stop scanning emails. I've got app and album purchases from the Apple store listed here, as well as Amazon purchases and local delivery pizza orders.
