Privacy & Transparency

    Your privacy is not negotiable.

    We built Obfona because we believe communication should be private by default. Here's exactly how we protect you — and what we commit to.

    Why it matters

    Email is the backbone of modern identity. It's where you verify accounts, receive documents, and communicate privately. Yet the biggest email providers profit from reading your messages to serve you ads.

    When a service is free, you are the product. Your data is mined, your behavior tracked, your identity profiled — and sold to the highest bidder.

    Obfona is different. We're funded by users who pay for a service — not advertisers who pay for access to you. Our business model aligns with your privacy, not against it.

    How we protect your data

    You can't read what we can't see

    Zero-access encryption means your emails are encrypted before they reach our servers. We physically cannot read your messages.

    No IP logging

    We don't log IP addresses. Ever. Not even temporarily. Your location and network identity stay private.

    Minimal data collection

    We collect only what's strictly necessary to run the service. No analytics, no behavioral tracking, no fingerprinting.

    Warrant canary

    We publish a regular warrant canary. If we are ever legally compelled to compromise user data, we will make this visible.

    Open about our policies

    Our terms, policies, and technical architecture are written in plain language. No legalese designed to confuse.

    Clear suspension policy

    We notify you before any account action. No silent suspensions. You'll always know what happened and why.

    Our transparency commitments

    01

    We publish what we can

    Our technical architecture, privacy policies, and legal disclosures are written to inform, not obscure. We update these when things change — not when we're forced to.

    02

    We tell you when things go wrong

    Service issues, security incidents, or legal pressures — we communicate clearly and promptly. You deserve to know what's happening with the service you rely on.

    03

    We fight for you

    If a government or entity tries to compel us to compromise user data, we will exhaust every legal avenue before complying. And if we're forced, we'll tell you — as much as the law allows.

    04

    We never sell your data

    Not now. Not in the future. Not under any business model change. This is a founding principle of Obfona — not a policy that can be quietly updated.
