I'm so sorry if this isn't in the correct posting format or what-have you, this is my first PieFed post, and I'm pretty dumb sometimes.

I've been using a TCL Flip 3 for the last 3 or so weeks, KaiOS 3.0+ enabled. My sibling had sent me a text asking if timing belts for his Honda Goldwing were at my house. I got up from the computer, confirmed that they were, texted him back, and went back to my computer.
A few minutes later, my gmail refreshed, and I had an email about "myself" signing up for a motorcycle parts storefront email list, specifically for a Honda Goldwing. I don't own a bike. I don't have any interest in one, I don't talk about them. Why, after I've received this text message, am I getting this advertisement? The only time I've talked about said "Goldwing" was THIS correspondence. It's the second time I've even texted him on this phone. He's one of 6 contacts. All I do with this phone is call and text. I've had some other advertisement scares (some wheels, some pants, some cologne) showing up in my gmail, but I chalked it up to a crazy coincidence that I just "happened" to be talking aloud and texting about.
I stay away from social media and smart enabled devices at if all possible. I've made the effort to make my digital footprint is as small as possible, including web security, privatizing my home server, etc. The TCL Flip 3 was supposed to be one of the bigger "unshackling" moments for my digitized life. Currently getting rid of Google entities as well. This Goldwing advertisement is just too much of a coincidence for me to look away.
TLDR: Am I just being dumb, or is KaiOS scraping data from my texts?
Update: Since I've finished typing this out, I received another two emails, same advertiser.

Thank you, I appreciate the quick reply. It was unknown to me, and I will be looking to figure something else out in terms of a cellphone.
