Can you think of a trustworthy third party?

That's how the industry works - personally I like to host everything I can
(host my own mail, just installing some CRM for myself as well) but the
Google suite is actually quite clever.

This is google we're talking about here.

The company that effectively reads all your emails for advertising
purposes, and makes it very hard to permanently delete anything. Even
then, I don't believe anything is actually permanently deleted, they
just chose not to show it to you when you click delete.

I don't deal with anything I personally find too sensetive for Google,
however, I know our retail partners would *not* be happy if I stored
sales information about them on Google servers.
