Yes.. I have a gMail address but almost no one has it, and I set it
up that anything that comes to me through it is forwarded to another
eMail account I have so very little from me ends up there. I'd get
nothing if I hadn't set up a few commercial places with my gMail
address before I knew any better. But not much information that
goes through there would be of any use.. Reminders that a bill is
coming due or a thankyou that it's been paid, so they know I pay
some common bills but no details are given out in those..

I also don't use Google to search for things online.

The fact that I get Zero spam is probably a good indicator that
what I'm doing is working fairly well.

That said, virtually all eMail providers check eMails for known
content often used by Spammers. I get the odd eMail dumped in a
Spam folder, one or two a month, with a notice that it's there in
case I know what it is and want to see it.. And I don't remember
the last time something that landed there was actually Spam, it
just used language/terms that looked suspect..
