Anti-spam approachNot separately documented as a technical methodology beyond standard server-side mail filtering; the Privacy Statement discloses that email server logs (sender/recipient addresses, connecting IPs) are retained for 48 hours to prevent brute-force attacks and aid debugging, and specifies that message content is not read except for service operation, troubleshooting, or suspected Terms of Service violations.AI-powered filtering Google says stops more than 99.9% of spam, phishing and malware, plus sender-authentication requirements for bulk senders that Google says cut unauthenticated messages 75%. Google's privacy policy lists 'email you write and receive' among the content it collects, and with smart features on Google uses Gmail data to provide those features; Google states Gmail content is not used for ads personalization.
