How Do You Turn Off Google AI Scanning Your Gmail? (2026/751)

If you have a Google account, Gmail account, or Google Workspace account, Google has switched on a new AI feature and opted you in automatically. It scans your emails and attachments, which may include financial data, tax information, bank statements and health information.

Today’s Walkthrough Wednesday is about how to turn off Google AI scanning in Gmail, on both desktop and mobile, so you can make an informed decision about what these engines can access rather than being opted in without knowing.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ What the new Google AI smart features scan and why it matters
➡️ How to turn it off on desktop, step by step
⚡ How to turn it off on mobile, step by step
⭐ How to check and delete what Google has already tracked
❗ Why checking your privacy settings regularly matters

If you have never checked your Google privacy settings before, today is a good day to start. Watch the full walkthrough and make your own informed decision about what you allow Google’s AI to access.

Who Can Help When Tech Support Goes in Circles? (2026/771)

Business systems are complex and when something goes wrong, trying to work out what it is and how to fix can be an exercise in futility. It becomes even more frustrating when there are multiple providers involved and each say their system is working correctly.

Todays episode discusses that and asks four questions:

✅ Why is it so difficult to identify where the problem sits?
➡️ What do you need to do?
⚡ How can you get out of the cycle?
⭐ What can the business do while the underlying problem is being resolved?

Have you got a technology problem that still exists because nobody can tell you where it sits?

✅ Why Revolut handed the information over
➡️ The legal and regulatory environment that set the incident up
⚡ What it means for the security and privacy of information businesses are required to collect
⭐ What small businesses need to take from it

There are lessons here for businesses, particularly those now covered by expanded Australian anti-money laundering requirements.

✅ What the person requesting their data sees
➡️ How WordPress confirms the request before you action it
⚡ What information WordPress includes in the personal data export
⭐ What happens to their information after the erasure is completed

Privacy administration might be tedious, but knowing how to handle a request properly is worthwhile for a business owner.
