Hushmail

Hushmail is a privacy-oriented email service with built-in encryption and no third-party advertising.

Hushmail is like your current email service – you can read and compose your email on the web, smartphone, and everywhere you work – but they’ve added important security features to help keep your data safe. Hushmail can be used immediately without installing any software or hardware because they are a fully hosted web-based service. Access your email from anywhere via a web browser or by setting up your account on Hushmail for iPhone or on your favorite smartphone or PC email app. When you use Hushmail, you own your data and your emails are not analyzed to display advertising. Your data is never sold to anyone. Your IP address does not appear on the headers of the email. Encryption between Hushmail users happens automatically, so you don’t even have to think about it. When emailing users outside their system, their on-demand encryption is easily managed with a checkbox. Hush Communications was founded in 1998, and in May 1999 they launched Hushmail, the world’s premier end-to-end encrypted free email service. Their services have since evolved to include secure web forms and powerful branded solutions for businesses, all compliant with the OpenPGP standard. Their customers include banks, law firms, medical practitioners, and privacy-minded individuals around the world. They believe communication should be kept private, and they offer a way for individuals and businesses to do this easily and affordably. They are continuously working to keep their service comparable with less secure alternatives, while maintaining the high level of security their customers demand.
