I have a question and maybe someone here can answer me. For the "Use a privacy-first email provider". I currently use G Suite for business emails within my personal business. Are there any alternatives that offers something similar to G Suite but with the expected privacy of the listed provider. I'm aware that I won't be able to get all the features of G Suite, but I primarily only use the email part (Of course with multiple users so it has to have support for that.)

I use, and am very happy with, FastMail.

    True, but it's still better than Google.

I think the main question is what kind of alternatives are you looking for. Calendar service is provided by most of these companies already. Anyway I'm not sure who qualifies as privacy-first provider. E.g. Zoho has a quite good privacy policy at first glance: https://www.zoho.com/privacy.html https://www.zoho.com/privacy.html Is there even a difference between main Google PP and G-Suite PP? Is Office365 PP privacy first?

I like both FastMail and Protonmail. Take note of where the infrastructure is hosted for both however, if your privacy concern is one of nation-state actors.
