Google sent out a notification that it will automatically opt you into using content from your email campaigns to help Google know what to show in Google Search, Shopping, and Maps. It will look for content around "new arrivals, sales or ongoing promotions, social media profiles, and others," Google said.

This has nothing to do with gmail or the emails you send/receive.

The process is googles search bot will subscribe google to marketing newsletters available on websites, it's outlined in the linked post: "Google will either subscribe to your emails automatically or you can add marketingemailtogoog@gmail.com to your email lists and that will do it."
