Look Under The Hood: (edit)
- When a user requests to generate an email alias, a popup would appear (similar to "Sign In With Apple") prompting the user to sign in with Privacy Portal in order to authorize generating and filling the email alias.
- As mentioned in the library's Github page, an account is required in order for Privacy Portal to be able to forward emails to your personal email address.
- Privacy Portal has a transparent and fair business model that allows small creators and businesses to use our services free of charge under a certain usage threshold.
- Privacy Portal is built for privacy and processes all emails in memory without writing them to disk. It does not store, collect, share, nor sell any user data. Privacy Policy
- Users can sign up on Privacy Portal with an anonymous email address for even more privacy.
- Email Aliases generated for a particular website can only relay emails authorized by said website and are unusable by other third parties making it a perfect solution for eliminating spam, and email sharing accross websites.
No misconceptions on my side.
Your business is about three things:
Both these things are what makes the hype around web privacy/anonymity.
You pinky swear that you don't sell or otherwise abuse personal data, but you still get class A data about which users visit and deeply interact with which site.
Why should I lay all my eggs in one basket in the first place?
Of course the same could be said about a secondary or tertiary email provider but then quite a few exist who are at least as trustworthy as your solution.
I said your business is about three things; I think it's easy to see that the first two lead to you growing your business.
About your elaborate emoji- and buzzword-laden replies, let me reply with Shakespeare: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks"
People have every right and reason to be extremely skeptical about offers like these.
BTW I deleted one of my comments because I realized I was wrong. That seems to have rubbed you the wrong way?
We understand that trust needs to be earned. We're in it for the long run. We totally agree with you that users shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket. This is why we're bringing our products as an alternative to existing ones in some cases and we're innovating with new functionality like privacy-kit that doesn't exist today on any other service.
When you register an account with Privacy Portal, you don't have to trust us. You can simply use an anonymous secondary email during the registration. We don't know who you are. You can also use privacy-preserving payment methods if you decide to upgrade your account.
When you go on a website, we don't get any information from that site. We do not deliver the library from our servers. Website owners can integrate it directly in their website (or though CDNs). The only time we do get information is when you request to generate an email alias on that site. This is when we receive and process your request. Once that happens, we generate an email alias for your account under the OAuth application of that website. We don't collect any data from websites. We only store the email alias to provide you with the service you requested.
