For those members who use gmail.
On October 10, 2025, Google Gemini AI was 'turned on' automatically whereby all incoming mail and attachments are scanned.
Instructions to disable this 'feature':
1. Open Gmail using your browser.
2. Click the Gear icon (upper right).
3. Select "See all settings".
- General tab is displayed by default
4. Scroll to "Smart features and personalization".
5. Uncheck the checkbox.
6. Scroll to "Google Workspace smart features".
7. Toggle off both features in Google Workspace and Google Products.
8. Click Save.

I would recommend that you create email accounts at protonmail.com.
There are other privacy oriented free email providers, but protonmail was one of the first and is well known.

Regardless of which email provider you use, do not participate in Two-Factor Authentication, sometime shown as 2FA.
