In theory, the processes that scan your email to generate the ads are completely automated, so nobody should see the contents of your messages. On the other hand, it is a distributed system, so multiple copies of your email exist on multiple servers. From a security standpoint this means that there are more computers with your information on it on the internet, that could be hacked. I don't know how different this is from other mail servers though, as I expect that everyone has multiple servers to take care of the loads from many users.
