Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need a private, secure email service?
Your emails often contain personal and private information, exposing you to the risk of identity theft. A private, secure email service ensures that these emails are only read by you and the intended recipients. It also protects you from attackers and data theft. PennieMail's encryption helps keep your emails safe, private, and secure.
How does PennieMail encrypt your emails?
Encrypted email is unreadable by anyone other than the intended recipient. PennieMail's encryption works both at rest and in transit. Emails are stored in the mail servers in an encrypted format. The encryption key is managed with utmost care and security, and the process is audited by reliable third-party organizations. Security protocols like TLS and S/MIME are used to support encryption of these emails even in transit.
Who needs a private, secure email service?
While the free, big-tech email services offer good security to a vast majority of users, there are some of us who need a better level of privacy + security. When your email is being harvested for advertising, AI bot training, or other purposes, your data privacy takes a backseat. Because of that, your email data privacy is crucial. What often is an innocent daily exchange - like a loan application, tax form, or a prescription status update, can contain personal information that you want to keep safe, private, and secure.
Why should you pay for an email service, when you can get it for free?
When the service is free - then you are the product, and you are paying with your privacy, and your data. Other reasons include:
​
-
Enhanced security: PennieMail offers stronger encryption, specifically end-to-end encryption (E2EE), which ensures only the sender and recipient can read the email content. This is in contrast to free services, which might only encrypt emails while in transit, leaving them vulnerable on their servers.
-
Greater privacy: at PennieMail we have stricter data logging policies, meaning we do not store your emails or metadata (IP addresses, timestamps, etc.).
-
Peace-of-mind: Knowing your emails are private and secure can offer peace-of-mind, especially if you handle sensitive information, or value your online privacy.
​
With PennieMail, you can have this peace-of-mind, with a minimum investment.
