Hey everyone, can you please help me what to do- I don’t have and don’t use anything from Google. Now for school I am asked to provide Gmail. Is there way out ? What else, maybe some other email provider is compatible with school emailing system, because now teacher must use her personal email to email me and she is not happy at all…
To get Gmail I need phone nr. If I put phone nr,it’s connected Gmail with phone nr. I don’t want G know anything about me.
You’re smart.
But if you manage to succeed in creating a Google account without them linking it to your identity, they’ll lock you out and delete your account.
Google provides email so they can sell your data. If your data is anonymous, then you’re worthless to them. So they just delete your account.
In case G lock account, but u have previously set forwarding emails to Proton, do you think u will receive emails anyway?
No, they’ll delete your account too if they can’t link your account to your identity. Because they won’t be able to profit off of it
I’m not sure what phone NR is.
If you get Gmail, you can install Thunderbird on your phone, and connect to it like that. All Google would know is that you’re connecting to that email from that IP. And if you’re concerned about that, maybe get a VPN.
Phone No. Phone Nr is used as shortening in Europe.
The way to solve the problem you have is to maintain a receptacle specifically for untrusted interactions. You might try to minimize them but they will eventually become unavoidable like now.
Back in the day before email it was called a blind box and you’d rent it at the post office.
In your situation you’d just keep a second phone/number.
It costs more money, there isn’t a free alternative or do it yourself method.
