They still collect data, but if you turn off targeted ads, it no longer uses that data for targeted ads. It's better than nothing however. Citation: "We provide personal information to our affiliates and other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. For example, we use service providers to help us with customer support."" "Does the service allow third-party access to private personal data? " "Yes" "Does the service collect personal data from third parties?" "Yes" When it comes to ads, the tech companies that bid on ad space then get access to your data through advertising, and its Google's way of selling your data while being able to say they don't sell your data, since it's not directly selling, by instead letting advertising companies and tech companies bid for ad space which collects your data. This data is then collected and sold to data brokers who then sell it to anyone who wants it (and I literally mean anyone). If you use Google services without a private browser, blocked cross site tracking, adBlock, VPN, private DNS, custom OS (for phone), then your data is openly at risk whether you turn on/off privacy settings with Google or not. I recommend Brave or LibreWolf, uBlockOrigin, Mulvad VPN, NextDNS, GrapheneOS. Search into these individually. If you want more options, or just want to get rid of Google entirely, look into Proton Mail/Calendar/Drive/Pass and other Proton services, as well as TechLore, Privacy Tools, Privacy Spy, Privacy Tests, and for FOSS products, use AlternativeTo to find free open source software, like LibreOffice for example which handles all Office365 needs with free software.
