Google account prep:

Follow the instructions here to download an archive of all of your account data, and once you have done that, you can delete that data from their servers and set it so that they can’t (in theory) gather so much, moving forward, by following these instructions. After you set up a new, non-big tech email account, whether with Zoho, Protonmail, Startmail, or whatever other provider you choose, and switch all of your important online accounts over to the new address (banking, social media, whatever other cloud services or newsletters you want to continue receiving, etc), you can (and should) delete your Google account by following these steps.
