This is probably one of the cons of using VPN. If criminal used VPN service that you happen to use and connect to the same node, expect police to read your emails, courtesy of Google.
I'm still in the process of getting off google mail and switching to Proton. It takes time to go thru all my google emails and clean them up. Yes I know deleting them won't change a thing BUT at least I consent to deleting them on my end, versus merely abandoning my mailbox altogether.
I know Google has capacity to keep all emails forever, but whether they do so or delete them after X amount of years, I don't know.
- londons_explore 9y agoGoogle guarantees to actually delete your emails 30 days after you delete them from your account. The GDPR law in europe requires them to do this for european citizens.
- joering2 9y agoHow do I know where my mailbox is located??
- puzzle 9y agoIt's actually complicated to know where your mailbox is. Even if you knew its current locations, Gmail rebalances the N replicas across X data centers all the time, based on a number of factors.
- olympus 9y agoDoes it guarantee to do this for everyone or just Europeans? Genuinely curious here since they might have separate policies in place for different countries- I imagine that China prefers to keep all its citizens' emails indefinitely.
- puzzle 9y agoGoogle has been doing this for years, before even making public guarantees. There wasn't a separate policy for China when I left years ago and Gmail is blocked there anyway.
- zeep 9y agounless there is a secret law that prevents them to actually do it...
