Google is making some changes to its privacy terms and is urging us to read them.
We know it’s tempting to skip these Terms of Service, but it’s important to establish what you can expect from us as you use Google services, and what we expect from you.
I’m slowly making my way through the terms but one thing I’m certainly going to do is related to the location of my data in googles data centres.
I’m not down with this part… I understand why they would do it but in the same way I voted to stay within a block of countries with harden data privacy laws. I need to personally do something.
Because of this I’m switching away from Gmail and deleting lots of archived emails. I’m also going to start using encryption more with google drive. I have been a bit lazy with this all, weighing up the balance of convenience and effort. Google provide a lot of useful things to me, but I think its time to move some more critical parts way, starting with email.
So I’m torn between Protonmail and Tutanota but also been looking at others.
