Information security is important to every organization. Before having Google host your email and documents, there are several things prospective users should consider.
Copyright:
While information throughout your Google Apps domain is scanned and indexed for the embedded search engine, Google has no claim to your information.
Third Party Access to Data:
Except as noted in their privacy policy, they will not deliver email or other data to any third parties. When users send data through their system, all functions are automated, which means no Google employees have any need to examine your information, leaving your documents safe for your use only. The one exception is that they do use words indexed in Gmail to designate which advertisements best apply to you, but like their other services, this one is also automated.
