This is ridiculous. It is the same company, Ads driven company, you're expecting to be nice just because you paid few dollars.

No, the G Suite product has a clearly defined privacy policy that's quite different to the usual Google one. If Google violates it they'll be liable to be sued for millions, at the least. It's not "expecting to be nice", it's "entering into a legal and business relationship that stipulates niceness".

  Could not find full GSuite policy, hmm. The best I got is [1]. They do scan stuff, and for a long (con:) game, it is priceless. They'll have your kids school scores for example. scan and index your data to provide you with your services and to protect your data, such as to perform spam and malware detection, to sort email for features like Priority Inbox and to return fast, powerful search results when users search for information in their accounts.

    They literally say why they scan and you are talking about your kids school scores. You clearly have an agenda.

      I do. They have too much access to too many people's data. And making billions on the data. Plus having biggest infrastructure and buying best AI and ML brains in bulk. I hope you can add all this together and see the picture. Kids worry me the most, as this G.Education is pushed on them without choice, being profiled from 1st grade.

        You are volunteering that data. I can see the picture fine, they are a company that hires smart people to build out an targeted advertising business. They don't have access to people's data. People are giving them access to their data.

  That is correct. Please read this whitepaper [0]. [0] https://storage.googleapis.com/gfw-touched-accounts-pdfs/google-cloud-security-and-compliance-whitepaper.pdf https://storage.googleapis.com/gfw-touched-accounts-pdfs/goo... Page 16 directly mentions: "G Suite customers own their data, not Google. The data that G Suite organizations and users put into our systems is theirs, and we do not scan it for advertisements nor sell it to third parties." I guess, for me this is good enough and the 4 euros a month are negligible for the huge advantage of using the gsuite.
