We take data protection very seriously and will only ever elicit the data that is absolutely necessary for the technical operation of our service. And we like that, because thorough and honest protection of your private and business-related data is our mission at. Germany has one of the strictest data protection laws in the world. The results have also contributed to the WKS/WKD standard that is part of the GnuPG project. The objective of the project was to develop new mechanisms for the reliable and automatic public PGP key exchange between e-mail providers.

We are also widely involved in projects and initiatives that promote e-mail security: We are a founding member of the " TES - Transport E-Mail Security" initiative, and contributor to the project " Keys4All" together with other partners such as the Fraunhofer Institute, the Landeszentrum für Datenschutz (independent center for data protection), the University of the Arts in Berlin, and the University of Kassel. For more details, please refer to the knowledge base article „ The HKPS key server “. At, the verified public keys of our users can be retrieved automatically from our key server by anyone, including users.

In the past, PGP suffered from an acceptance problem as users found the process of exchanging keys with their communication partners too cumbersome. In order to make secure e-mail communication more convenient, operates a dedicated PGP key server (HKPS). What is important is that we know what we are doing and that you can always wholeheartedly trust our expertise and experience. Too many technical abbreviations for your taste? Don't worry about it – it's not necessary to know everything about the technical details to be able to use. For this reason, we offer advanced users a dedicated Tor Exit Node with Hidden Onion Services available at our data center. We support anonymous use of the Internet and want to protect our users from needless data retention activities. Our systems will protect your privacy by removing from all outgoing mail any metadata about your web browser or e-mail client, as well as the private or public IP addresses of the user host (a.k.a. This helps us make sure that your communication with our servers via SSL/TLS is truly secure. For example, we use mechanisms such as HSTS, CAA, CSP, MTA-STS and X-XSS to effectively prevent "man-in-the-middle" attacks. Moreover, whenever there is an opportunity to increase communication security further, we will do so. In order to rule out any data manipulation by third parties, we were one of the first providers to secure our domain with DNSSEC and DANE/TLSA.

Further, we exclusively employ (EC)DHE algorithms that use Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) to prevent the future decryption of recorded data traffic. Our crypto experts constantly keep up-to-date on all significant developments, will always implement the best crypto-algorithms available,and retire any mechanisms that are deemed unsecure. But this is just the beginning – there is so much more that we do: For additional security, we also use security certificates by DigiCert (Check the padlock symbol in your web browser's URL field). There are many ears listening on the Internet, which is why all our services require mandatory SSL/TLS-encrypted data transmission.
