Email privacy

Posted on August 30, 2015 by IanPJ

Are you getting fed up with every man and his dog reading your emails… either government who have now given themselves the power to read everything.. or the free service providers such as Microsoft and Gmail, who then target adverts at you based upon the content of your emails… and we all know that these providers regularly sell off their email addresses to corporates so that they can target their spam at you…

It’s time to get some of your privacy back… and having been using this service for the past month or so, I am recommending using a new end to end encrypted email service based in Switzerland called Protonmail.

It’s free, its web based and its fully end to end encrypted. You can even send encrypted email to non Protonmail users, and if you choose you can also download your public key to send to users who are already using inline PGP.

Emails are automatically end-to-end encrypted inside their email service. Because of this, they cannot decrypt or share your data with third parties.

There is a waiting list for their services however, as demand has outstripped their ability to supply, but they are filling in the gaps very quickly, and are currently running beta testing on IoS and Android apps, so you will be able to take your encrypted email mobile.

Privacy is a basic human right, it’s why we have front doors, or curtains over our windows, and our email conversations should be no different.

    Dear Mr Parker-Joseph

    Without privacy, we are livestock.

    Haven’t heard of it, sounds promising! I especially like the fact that it’s based in Switzerland (where privacy laws are particularly rigid). I already use the Threema instand messenger which, I think, is also a based in Switzerland.
