Google already #scans users’ #Gmail #email accounts to show more relevant #ads. Now the #Internet giant is scouring emails for bills.

The #company said Tuesday that its Google Search #mobile #app can now remind users when bills are due by spotting emailed bills in their Gmail #accounts and automatically reading the important details.

Google already scans users’ email accounts for #flight information, #hotel reservations and packages that may be delivered soon from #online order confirmations.

But the fact that Google is reading your bills via email may unnerve some users and worry #privacy #advocates.
