Translation: "We no longer bother scanning your email because we get way more data from your Android phone."

'This decision brings Gmail ads in line with how we personalize ads for other Google products. '
'Google has said it will no longer scan the content of Gmail messages to sell targeted adverts to users of the free service. '
'"Consumer Gmail content will not be used or scanned for any ads personalization after this change. '
'"G Suite's Gmail is already not used as input for ads personalization, and Google has decided to follow suit later this year in our free consumer Gmail service," it said. '
' And Google will still be doing some Gmail scanning to offer up its Smart Replies suggestions at the end of the messages. ®'

They probably still scan your mail for quality check purposes which means whatever they want to do with the data.
