"They're incredibly annoying, yes, but they get even creepier when they seem too tailored for your liking. Imagine looking up a garnet ring once, and now everywhere you go, you see jewelry ads. This is what you call personalized ads, and to be fair, they do have their upsides. For one, you get to discover new products and services that match your needs. That means you won't have to go out of your way to manually search for them -"
"Personalized ads use data, and that data can range from basic information like app usage to sensitive ones like your email address and age. And since user data is involved, there's always a question about the security risk too. The good news is, there's a built-in Android setting to improve your user experience and stop personalized ads on your device. Moreover, Android comes with other powerful security features, such as Advanced Protection, which further keeps your device and Google account safe."
Personalized ads on Android rely on a unique advertising ID that links device activity and account information to ad profiles. Targeted ads can help users discover relevant products, but they raise privacy and security concerns because collected data can include app usage, email addresses, and age. Google provides a built-in Android setting to remove or reset the advertising ID so apps deliver generic ads instead of tailored ones. Android also offers additional protections, such as Advanced Protection, to strengthen device and Google account security against account compromise and data misuse.
