Google employees can read your Gmail inbox

Are you important and confidential emails in your Gmail inbox are safe ? NO. a Google employee working in Google could be read them.

Christopher Nguyen, App operations organizer at Google quoted that

“A small number of Gmail engineers have access to the servers as a matter of necessity to do their jobs, a very small number of people actually access the contents as a matter of necessity to do their jobs, and even then, almost always only the associated metadata. The rest have to file a request and justify any access they ever need, which is extremely rare. All have to sign paperwork re user’s privacy at the risk of dismissal and legal action, knowing that whatever they do is discoverable and ultimately, and internal culture of respecting user’s privacy helps keep one another in check.”

Google also serves the ads in Gmail inbox and these ads based in the content of email. These are the bots that are scanning your Gmail messages for relevant keywords.
