Nice bit of FUD you got there.

You can use Google Search and be 100% compliant, because Google doesn't see any customer data. Google chrome isn't even a service, I can't imagine how you'd manage to stick customer data in there.

And if you think there are no companies without AWS and Microsoft 360, you need to expand your horizon. I work for one such company, and so do many of my peers.

There are also lots of companies that use AWS etc. for everything but customer PII and keep that in some SAP system on-prem.

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or you said 'AWS' and 'Microsoft 360' and meant cloud and managed email.

There are plenty of browser alternatives (firefox, safari, vivaldi, even chromium).

There are dozens if not hundreds of email providers, and you can even provide your own.

You can 'centralize data storage' on disks on hardware you own, on premises or colocated. You could even use one of the dozens to hundreds of managed service and cloud providers.

I meant both clouds and managed email / storages services.

Don't both Firefox and Safari have telemetry and various ping back services?

Sure you can, I'm just saying that it is rarely if ever done in medium to large companies.
