Yep. "local" here is the key word, though. If a service I uploaded photos to began doing that, I would not be upset. And indeed, just about every image-hosting website in existence already does this, because they're legally required to.
Gmail is markedly not a local service.

This makes it seem like your concern is with the advertisement funding model, not with privacy.
