Gmail is not end-to-end encrypted, and Google retains access to all your emails. Here are five steps to make Gmail more secure and the best alternative if you’re looking for genuine privacy.
We explain why Gmail is not completely secure or private, how to improve Gmail’s default security, and the easiest way to secure your emails so no one but you can read them.
First, Gmail does encrypt your emails but cannot guarantee they’re completely secure all the time. That’s because Gmail uses standard TLS (Transport Layer Security)(new window) encryption by default.
With TLS, your emails are secure while they’re being sent from A to B, but only if the recipient’s email service supports TLS. And once they arrive, the privacy of your emails depends on what encryption the receiving server uses.
Second, Google holds the encryption keys to the emails stored in your account. So Google can access your data and hand it over to third parties, like advertisers and governments. Only with end-to-end encryption(new window) can you guarantee that no one else can read your private emails.
Is Gmail private?
Gmail is not private because Google relies on your personal information to make money. Google tracks your every move online and shares your personal data with advertisers(new window). While Gmail is labeled “free”, you’re actually paying for the service with your data.
Google records everything you do as you use its services. As the Gmail privacy label in Apple’s App Store shows, Gmail collects vast amounts of your personal data.
Google takes steps to secure Gmail accounts from hackers. And you may think hackers are unlikely to target your account unless you’re a high-risk individual like a political activist, journalist, or public figure.
While that may be true for most people, you could still fall victim to a data breach(new window). As Gmail is not end-to-end encrypted(new window), it is technically possible to intercept Gmail data. So if Google’s servers were somehow compromised, your data could be exposed.
And remember that Gmail is not as secure as it could be out of the box. As with all email providers, the security of an individual Gmail account depends on how you set up and use it. Follow the advice below to reduce the risk of being hacked.
5 steps to make Gmail more secure
Here are five steps you can take to improve the security of your Gmail account.
Make sure you activate two-factor authentication (2FA)(new window), which Google calls 2-step verification. With 2-step verification, after filling in your password, you enter a six-digit code from your phone to gain access.
Go to Google’s Security Checkup(new window) and see what it recommends. The checkup mainly contains the steps we cover here, and it will not stop Google from scanning your emails. But it may flag suspicious activity in your account or other sensitive settings you could tweak.
5. Use enhanced encryption
You can also set up enhanced encryption in Gmail, known as S/MIME(new window). But S/MIME is aimed at enterprise users, and you’ll need to pay for an eligible Google Workspace account to use it. So let’s take a look at Gmail encryption for work.
Is Gmail safe for work?
If you have a paid Gmail account for work (Google Workspace), Google says it uses 128-bit AES(new window) encryption or stronger to store your data and TLS to protect your emails in transit.
While these are robust protocols, Google Workspace emails are not end-to-end encrypted. If you have an eligible account, you can enable enhanced encryption (S/MIME)(new window), though you’ll need an administrator account to set it up.
But even with S/MIME enabled, your emails are not as secure as they could be:
Messages still are not end-to-end encrypted, so it’s possible that Google or a third party could access them.
S/MIME encryption only works if the email recipient also has S/MIME enabled. There’s no way to send a private email to anyone who does not have S/MIME set up.
Unlike PGP(new window), S/MIME has a centralized system of certificate authorities that could be compromised, though this may only matter to you if your business requires the strictest confidentiality.
So if you’re serious about the security and confidentiality of your business communications, consider a more secure alternative.
Best Gmail alternative for security and privacy
If you’re looking for the best security and genuine privacy for your emails, you need to use end-to-end encryption.
You can use a third-party plug-in like Mailvelope(new window), which allows you to use end-to-end encryption in Gmail. Yet this requires some technical knowledge to set up, and you’re restricted to a web app. You can’t use it with mobile devices.
Only you can read your emails: End-to-end encryption goes one step further than TLS. Not even Proton can read them.
Improved security in a data breach: Zero-access encryption(new window) means all emails in your account are encrypted, even those not from Proton users.
If you’d like to support our vision, get a paid individual plan, or consider Proton for Business if you need email for work. Together, we can build a better internet where privacy is the default.

In response to the growing number of data breaches, Proton Mail offers a feature
to paid subscribers called Dark Web Monitoring. Our system checks if your
credentials or other data have been leaked to illegal marketplaces and alerts
you if so. Often
Your email address is your online identity, and you share it whenever you create
a new account for an online service. While this offers convenience, it also
leaves your identity exposed if hackers manage to breach the services you use.

Our mission at Proton is to help usher in an internet that protects your privacy
