I never understood how scanning emails to show ads is a privacy violation? No information about you is leaking to anyone.

I think it's the whole _scanning emails_. The information is already leaked at that point.

Leaked to whom though? That's what I don't get. No human is involved in the process and your information is in the hands of the same company as before.

That's a lot of trust in a black box coded by humans. What's going on under the hood with their Smart Compose? Smart Reply? Smart Labels? It all requires processing very very personal information, and you simply can't vet whether it's all handled securely.
