No you're understanding me. It's impossible to avoid Google as over almost everyone uses them. My thought really is if it's worth even trying. I can use a better service, but Google will still get my emails as most of my circle uses Google.
Do you know what personal info gets landed on their server when you send an Email to a Gmail account? Presumably Email address and name, but is there much more, hidden stuff?
I never actually thought about it from this angle. Moreso about how much they have access to by having a Google account, but not the exposure if yiu Email someone on their servers.
