Plain-English data boundaries
GAS tools do not all handle information in the same way. This page explains the current data path for the main public tools, without calling every feature “private” or “encrypted” when it is not.

What we do not claim
GAS does not claim that ordinary email is end-to-end encrypted, that every tool has the same protection, or that a marketing draft is a professional decision. A full technical retention, data-residency and incident-response policy has not yet been published.
Your choice
If a data path does not suit your business rules, do not use that tool for that information. You can ask a question before sharing anything.
