What Ximin said. Google's "Off the record" is misleading. You need to use additional software to protect your chats BEFORE Google gets your words. Slide #3 of https://apapadop.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/otr1.pdf reinforces this message. Full tutorial on how to stop Google recording your chats: https://apapadop.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/stop-google-recording-your-chats/ (a bit dusty, but should still work) -A -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
