As much as we depend on the internet for everything we do, it\u2019s simply not safe in its raw, natural state. Data breaches happen all the time. Personal information is stolen from email accounts by malicious people. We use our email to review our bank statements, pay our bills, communicate with our doctors and lawyers, and send important information. Email that isn\u2019t completely private can never be truly safe. That\u2019s where PrivateMail<\/a> comes in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PrivateMail Doesn’t Want to Know What You\u2019re Doing \u2013 And That\u2019s the Whole Point<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional email providers know a lot about you and utilize\nartificial intelligence to scan your emails, show you ads, and even\nautomatically generate suggested replies to emails based on their content. We\ndon\u2019t play that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PrivateMail is truly secure. We don\u2019t have access to your\nencryption keys. We can\u2019t read your emails and we have no idea what\u2019s in your encrypted\ncloud storage, because it\u2019s mathematically impossible. You deserve privacy, and\nwe\u2019re here to provide the platform for that privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encrypt Your Emails with OpenPGP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PrivateMail utilizes OpenPGP to make sending secure,\nend-to-end encrypted emails easy. You can generate and exchange privacy keys\nwith people in your contacts with just a few clicks. Every conversation you\nhave with that contact will be undecipherable to anyone who attempts to\nintercept it. Discuss your test results with your doctor or talk to your real\nestate agent about your budget. If you\u2019ve exchanged OpenPGP keys, prying eyes\nwill never know what you\u2019re discussing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the Email Features You Need<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PrivateMail includes all the email features you\u2019re used to,\nplus a few added security features that your current email provider likely\nlacks. We allow the generation and storage of OpenPGP keys and include encrypted\ncloud storage, secure filesharing and encrypted cloud sync. You\u2019ll also find a\ncalendar with calendar sync, advanced search, email alias, IMAP and POP3\nsupport, notes, bulk importing, and advanced search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email Alias Feature to Keep You Organized<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no need to create multiple user accounts. Our email\nalias feature will allow you to organize your emails as they come in. More\naliases mean more privacy and less spam. Getting unwanted emails? Afraid a\nthird party has your information? Delete the affected alias, and the problem is\nsolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private Cloud Storage with Paranoid Encryption<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every file uploaded to your encrypted folder is protected by\nparanoid encryption (AES256). Not even the people at PrivateMail know what\nyou\u2019ve uploaded. When using our SecureShare feature your file stays encrypted\nat every step so you can be sure only the recipient can see. This adds an\nentirely new layer of communication to email security. PrivateMail is not your\nnormal inbox. You can securely send documents to your lawyer without fear that\nthey\u2019ll ever find themselves in the wrong hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round the Clock Support <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PrivateMail has a round the clock support team \u2013 we\u2019re never\nclosed. If you ever have questions or need help, you can reach out for a near\nimmediate response. We\u2019re committed to providing PrivateMail users with the\nhighest possible quality of service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
