Edit: https://safety.google/privacy/ads-and-data/ See "Gmail" at the bottom:

"Google does not use keywords or messages in your inbox to show you ads. Nobody reads your email in order to show you ads."

Google's privacy policies are written to be understandable by lay-people. Describing the specific breakdowns of what things they aren't doing can be intimidating or scary. So they don't. But the information you care about is still there, unless you're assuming some weird level of linguistic runaround.

The privacy policy contradicts both. I assume policy would supercede a blog post if it came down to it.
See my edit, the privacy policy doesn't contradict either. (and if memory serves, the actual Gsuide corp privacy policy is a legalese pdf somewhere, that does make these things explicit)
