Google Docs Turns a Blind Eye to Security

Google doesn’t use SSL for the Google Calendar or for Google Docs. When information is sent to and from Google the information is sent in clear text and is visible at all intermediate network routers.

I know that Google Docs is very convenient, but make sure not to store sensitive data on the Google Docs system.

You can read up on Google’s security at the link below.  I feel their document is a little misleading as it doesn’t fully disclose the face that information is not encrypted while in transit.
