Google Workspace for Education services do not collect or use student data for advertising purposes or create advertising profiles.
Gmail for consumers and Google Workspace for Education users run on the same infrastructure, which provides high performance, reliability, and security to all of our users. However, Google Workspace is a separate offering that provides additional security, administrative, and archiving controls for education, business, and government customers.
Like many email providers, we perform scanning in Gmail to keep our customers secure and to improve their product experience. In Gmail for Google Workspace for Education, this includes virus and spam protection, spell check, relevant search results and features, such as Priority Inbox and auto-detection of calendar events. Scanning to provide product features is done on all incoming emails and is 100% automated. We do not scan Google Workspace for Education emails for advertising purposes.
Additionally, we do not collect or use any information stored in Google Workspace for Education users’ Google Drive or Docs (or Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms) for any advertising purposes.
Users who have chosen to show Adsense ads on their Google Sites will still have the ability to display those existing ads on their websites. However, it will no longer be possible to edit or add new AdSense ads to existing sites or to new pages.
