Lots of people use Gmail for their email, either using Google’s website in a web browser or through an email client. You may use an @gmail address, or you may have a domain hosted on Google’s G Suite.
When you use Google for your email as well as for search, maps, and more there are a number of security and privacy options you can set. Google has a full set of tools you can use to check and tweak your security settings, for both Gmail and for the rest of its services.
