Several proactive steps you can take to help maximize security and privacy when using Google are:

• Enable two-step verification
  
  
• Protect your CruzID Blue password 
  • Don’t reveal it to anyone 
  • Don’t re-use it for other accounts
    
    
• Keep restricted data out of Google, or encrypt it first 
  
  
• Limit sharing of Google Docs to only those who need access, including who can edit vs. view docs
  
  
• Review your sharing settings in Google calendar 
  
  
• Report spam and phishing to Google 
  
  
• Use Google’s “Account Activity” features to help make sure no one else is using your account 
  
  
• Sign out of your Google account when you are not using it
