Hello everyone,
As the title says, I need to use Google Classroom for a class I’m taking with my local school. I didn’t get a choice in tooling unfortunately. I have in my private life cut google out, not having used Gmail in over a decade, using Youtube through invidious, OSM instead of Google Maps, etc.
I’m already planning on using either Firefox multiple account containers or a different dedicated browser for school stuff entirely. Is there any other advice you have to protect my privacy as much as possible?
I’m in the EU and I know Google is more limited in the data they can collect from educational uses, but obviously I don’t trust Google.
Keep in mind Google Workspace has a significantly different privacy policy to Gmail and other consumer services. Data is not used for advertising purposes and is owned by you. They also warn you if you leave to a consumer service like YouTube.
Best bet would be to simply have a separate browser you’re not logged into your account with. Don’t do personal browsing with a company owned/educationally owned institution device.
