<p>The change will end a practice, which has raised concerns among privacy watchdogs, that Google has been following since the company introduced its Gmail service in 2004.</p>
<p>To help finance the free service, Google has been scanning through what Gmail users were discussing and then showing ads connected to some of the topics.</p>
<p>For example, if you were writing about running, you might see ads for running shoes.</p>
<p>However, Google still plans to show ads within Gmail.</p>
<p>Instead of scanning through email content, its software will rely on other signals to determine which ads are most likely to appeal to each of its 1.2 billion Gmail users.</p>
<p>The tech giant said it would stop the ad-driven scanning of Gmail later this year.</p>
<p>Google says it is changing course so its free Gmail service operates more like the subscription version that it has sold to more than three million companies.</p>
<p>Although the paid Gmail does not include ads, Google said some of its business customers incorrectly assumed the company was scanning those accounts as well.</p>
<p>So, by ending all scanning, Google hopes to end the confusion and sell Gmail to even more businesses.</p>
<p>Gmail now ranks as the world’s largest email service, which might possibly indicate that most people did not care about Google’s scanning methods.</p>
