Most email providers offer their services for free. It\u2019s an\namazing thing. People sign up and never pay a dime to exchange files and\nmessages with other people. Free comes at a price, and that\u2019s something that\nmost people fail to realize. Their emails aren\u2019t protected, their provider can\nread them and view their attachments, and they\u2019re highly vulnerable to hackers.\nUsing PrivateMail and SecureShare is necessary in modern times \u2013 especially\nwith the amount of information that\u2019s exchanged online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hackers love going for email accounts. They contain a wealth of information and attachments to private and sensitive documents. If a hacker ever wants to own a person, a company, or a member of an organization, they\u2019ll go directly for their email inbox. Once someone\u2019s email is hacked, the hacker can quickly and easily gain access to nearly every account associated with that email address by simply using the convenient \u201cForgot Password\u201d feature that many platforms and services provide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you use free and open email, your messages can be\nscanned for marketing keywords. Your attachments can be viewed by your provider\nas well. There\u2019s no reasonable expectation of privacy, and this should be\ntroubling. Many people send legal and medical documents via email. A lot of\npeople pay bills or have payment confirmations with account information sent to\ntheir personal email addresses. When you use unencrypted email, you\u2019re always\nrunning the risk that your private information may fall into the wrong hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adults sometimes send each other photos. The contents of\nthese photos is a private matter between consenting adults. Whether these\nphotos are revealing or just embarrassing, many of us don\u2019t want them to be\nviewed by anyone other than the intended recipient. With PrivateMail and\nSecureShare, these photos can easily be shared through the PrivateMail files\napp to enable or disable sharing or to move the file offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything is electronic these days, and medical files are\nsorely unguarded. Many medical care providers transmit patient scans and\ninformation electronically without any encryption, leaving this information\neasily accessible to almost anyone who knows how to use a web browser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Encrypting this information allows it to be securely sent.\nIf you need to send copies for your medical insurance information or test\nresults to your doctor, you can do so without fear that these files may be\nintercepted or worse, publicly viewable as they might be if you allowed one\nfacility to send them directly to another. You can take control of your\nhealthcare and patient privacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accountants and lawyers need a lot of important,\nconfidential information. Your accountant will likely need your social security\nnumber and information about your income and financial history that you\nwouldn\u2019t want a stranger to obtain access to. Your lawyer will need similar\ninformation if you\u2019re filing for disability, in the midst of a divorce, or\nnegotiating and important business deal. We all live such busy lives that it\nisn\u2019t always possible to deliver this information in person, but it also feels\nunsafe to send it all over in an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SecureShare removes the risk from that process.<\/strong> The only person who will receive these documents is the people you\u2019ve specified. Encryption is most important with these types of documents. Sure, an embarrassing photo or patient information being placed in the wrong hands can have devastating consequences. Your full name, address, social security number, and financial information being intercepted can lead to identity theft that may take you years to recover from. You can\u2019t afford to send these documents any other way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n SecureShare is a feature incorporated within PrivateMail.\nSecureShare uses a highly sophisticated and virtually unbreakable type of end\nto end encryption called OpenPGP. OpenPGP encrypts files locally on your\nsystem, and then become decrypted locally on the recipient\u2019s system.\nPrivateMail doesn\u2019t have access to the decryption tools \u2013 we\u2019re never able to\nsee what you\u2019re sending, and neither is anyone else who doesn\u2019t have that key.\nYour private data never touches PrivateMail servers, and you can remove the\nfiles to prevent re-downloading. Only the intended recipient will be able to\nview your files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Switching to PrivateMail is an easy decision. Think of every\nemail you send through an unencrypted provider as a potential data disaster.\nFortifying your inbox and keeping all your files and messages safe from anyone\nwith the intent to do your harm isn\u2019t paranoid thinking \u2013 this happens to\npeople, even massive corporations, every day. Don\u2019t wait until you get hacked\nto make a change. Take control of your email safety today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most email providers offer their services for free.
