Photoshop Spying for Google - seriously?

@alixfairy Heh, it's probably a coincidence but things like this have happened to me. I was visiting someone for a weekend and we were talking about a shampoo brand they use that I had never heard of. All of a sudden when I got home, I started seeing ads for that product. Crazy! I guess it was because I was sharing their WiFi? Who knows how this works. It's akin to mind reading, I think.

Where did you get the original butterfly and squirrel files? Online?

excuse my TYPOS above, There is no edit post feature!   

"OK This is what's happening to me. I open a file, named Butterfly in Photoshop & work editing it into another image for several hours. I talk to noone, I don't message anyone, YET when I log onto a web browser, immediately the first AD I am shown, is a t-shirt company selling, you guessed it, Butterflies. The exact color and species I was editing.    ... Today, I edited a squirrel into a portrait using Photoshop version 2020, and you guessed it, AGAIN the frist AD shown to me was a t-shirt with a climbing squirrel. 

I want to know HOW DO I TURN THIS OFF? I find it creepy that Photoshop is somehow communicating my file names, my photo subjects to Google / Facebook Advertising. Its just creepy. Anyone else experienced this?     Am I just super paranoid, because it just seems a little too much. I open up many photoshop files per day, all with subject matter named, possibly with meta-data embedded in the images or just simple file names and it keeps on happening.    I would like to disable this.   Thoughts? Thx! "
