I assume they are. Of course I assume if it’s not end to end encrypted it’s not private and is being read or scanned by someone.

- amf12 4y agoWell yes they do. Even spam filtering needs them to read the emails. But they claim they don't use emails for advertising.
- kmlx 4y agoi’ve replied above. they claim they do not read your emails. regarding encryption i’ve only found this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6330403?hl=en#zippy=%2Csmime-enhanced-encryption https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6330403?hl=en#zippy=%... > Email encryption in transit S/MIME is used to support enhanced encryption in transit, and automatically encrypts your outgoing emails if it can. > Important: These steps only work if you have S/MIME enabled on your account
- api 4y agoEnd-to-end encryption with keys only you control is really the only type that matters from a privacy point of view. Encryption at rest or in transit behind the scenes helps protect against some actors but does not give you privacy. The zero-setup encryption offered by cloud providers is also smoke and mirrors. It's a key they control, so while it may improve security against someone internal snooping on a raw SAN device it doesn't do much for your privacy.
