The more you avoid mainstream tech, the lower your risk.
Set up a free ProtonMail account. Switzerland based. Encrypted end to end. No US jurisdiction. Move medical, legal, and financial email there.
Google Drive and OneDrive are US companies. The CLOUD Act applies to everything stored on them. Move anything sensitive to a local drive, encrypted USB, or European cloud like Tresorit or Filen.
Install and use Signal. iMessage and WhatsApp are US companies. Signal is end-to-end encrypted, open source, and stores nothing. Have your sensitive conversations there. Only works when both sides use it.
Replace Microsoft Office. Everything you type in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint passes through Microsoft’s servers. Download LibreOffice. Free. Open source. Works offline. Your documents stay on your machine. No cloud. No American servers.
Chrome is Google. Every search, every site, every tab gets reported back. Switch to Brave or Firefox. Both block trackers by default. Neither sends your browsing history to an American company.
