Switch to Protonmail Reason #49: Stop handing every website the same identifier for your online life
A single address used everywhere makes it easier to correlate purchases, posts, applications, and breached accounts.
Why this matters
A single address used everywhere makes it easier to correlate purchases, posts, applications, and breached accounts. Privacy is easier to defend before this information is collected than after it has spread.
The protection
Hide-my-email aliases give each service a different address while delivering mail to one inbox.
Take action
Start giving new services unique aliases today and migrate important older accounts over time. 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.
