11. The Hidden Switch Disabling the first toggle won’t cut it most people quit right there. Stay on that same settings page: Google Workspace smart features → Manage Workspace smart feature settings → switch off both checkboxes → Save. It only works when both are off.

10. Stop Using Weak or Reused Passwords Use a unique, strong password for your Google account and store it in a reputable password manager.

9. Encrypt Sensitive Attachments For highly sensitive documents, encrypt the file before attaching it to an email. Share the password through a separate, trusted channel.

8. Use Confidential Mode Carefully Gmail's Confidential Mode can restrict certain recipient actions, but it does not prevent screenshots or guarantee complete privacy. When sending sensitive information, consider whether email is the right channel in the first place.
