Tech giant Google’s time-management and scheduling calendar service ‘Google Calendar’ is reportedly creating random events based on emails and newsletters from Gmail
There is no clear pattern of this bug, but it does seem that emails with dates mentioned might be the trigger, reports 9To5Google
A common event noted by several users is a “U.S. Financial Privacy Notice” which displays as an all-day calendar event as well as a reminder notification on Android smartphones with the same title

Additionally, newsletters also appear to be triggering these events
Taking to Twitter, several users reported the issue
The exact cause is still not clear, but users might fix this by heading into Google Calendar settings under Settings > Events from Gmail
This should stop the events from being created when turning off the checkbox for ‘Automatically add events from Gmail to my calendar,’ the report said
