With bcc specifically, the split/sendout to individual bcc targets (separate e-mails to each) takes place at the SMTP (sending server) end, with no bcc list shown, and therefore none of the "to", "cc", and other "bcc" targets get to see the bcc list.

 

However, you'd still want to be sure that Gmail/Google isn't involved at the SMTP stage.  Using one's own domain-based "send-from" address configured into one's Gmail would not do the trick.

Hi,

Pertaining reasonable privacy concerns one key question, but first the
qualifiers.

Any and all email crossing gOOgles hands whether their user or NOT gets
copied and data mined.

If a non-gmail address sends one email to multiple contacts and one of
them is on gmail or to any of gOOgle's cloaked and hidden email service
account provider such as for the CBC, gOOgle has access to it.

My question is, if an email is sent to multiple parties and even if one
of these is gmail, but should those who are on BCC (the non gmail ones)
still somehow be visible to gmail?

Thanks,

Eduard
