Switch to Protonmail Reason #12: Give each company a different hide-my-email alias

Reusing one address everywhere lets separate companies and breach datasets join your accounts.

Why this matters

Reusing one address everywhere lets separate companies and breach datasets join your accounts. Privacy is easier to defend before this information is collected than after it has spread.

The protection

Proton hide-my-email aliases can forward mail while keeping the main address out of the signup.

Take action

Create a different alias for each service using Proton's alias tools. Availability and quantity depend on the product and plan. Email protection depends on the route and settings. Ordinary mail involving outside providers is not automatically end-to-end encrypted, and email metadata is not universally hidden.
