If you start with an -ing form in the string, you want to continue with it rather than mix and match it with regular nouns. It's not a question of strict grammar rules per se, but mostly of style. Besides, when you put an -ing form next to a noun like this, that -ing form becomes a verbal noun itself rather than the gerund, which is still a verbal form, which means that, technically, instead of using the gerund, as in "updating personal data," you have to use the verbal noun, which would make it "updating OF personal data," and it then becomes one unholy mess. |
