You could also get a private E-Mail address that doesn't scan all your mails to make money out of it. Google tries to enprison you in it's ecosystem by "facilitating" logins and so on. If you don't pay with money, you pay with your data.

mailbox.org
posteo.net

Both are great alternatives for only a couple of bucks a month.

Huge vote for mailbox.org. They have calendars, contract lists, online storage, etc. I've been able to get rid of Google/gmail almost entirely from my phone.

Also ~~free~~ included video conferences!

I don't know anything about mailbox.org, but I'm sure it's way less sketchy than Google. It's just interesting you would praise their free video conferences after posting "if you don't pay with money, you pay with data."

Should have said 'included' rather than 'free' since it is a paid service

Like the other commenter said, it is included in the price. It is called OpenTalk and is as secure as it gets.
