You Asked: What about security and privacy?

Some of you have asked about the difference between Google@CPS and your personal Gmail accounts. The misconceptions are that you have to use one or the other, or that your personal accounts will get overwritten, or that CPS will be able to view your personal email.

The fact is—they are separate systems. Gmail is accessed at www.gmail.com. Google@CPS will be accessible through our own login page. The two systems are completely and absolutely separate.

How can you tell which account you're logged into?

• We will have our own login page.
• Google@CPS will have a CPS logo.
• In Google@CPS, your email address is @cps.edu.
• In Gmail, your email address is @gmail.com.

Your information is as secure as you make it. In other words, if you give out your password or leave your email open, your information may be vulnerable. But as long as you protect your password, your data is safe and secure.
