Not only that but Google scans your mail to serve ads, would it now say it doesn't scan your "burn after reading" emails? I wouldn't trust them to.

They stopped doing that in 2017.

They no longer do this for ads. They still scan your gmail for reasons that are probably more profitable to them (e.g. any of the comments in this thread about inbox’s AI stuff).
