    Today we are sending an open letter to the European Commission together with Boxcryptor, Cryptomator, Mailbox.org, mail.de, Mailfence, Praxonomy, and Tresorit to draw attention to the dangers of undermining encryption and people's privacy. Mass surveillance will not stop terrorism or child sexual abuse.

  • Fixed vulnerability in Tutanota

    On February 25 we identified a possible Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability on one of our webpages separate to our webmail client, desktop and mobile apps, which deals with processing payment information from our payment provider Braintree.

    Privacy is hard to get in today's internet. That's because lots of free websites and online services depend on tracking you and selling your data to advertisers.

  • Clearview AI's photo database declared illegal in the EU and Canada.

    When the Clearview scandal hit the public, everyone expected that Clearview would have to answer to government officials for this data abuse. As it turns out, the opposite is the case: Governments are too eager to use the facial recognition software themselves. They seem to have no interest to regulate Clearview. Now, about one year after the scandal hit the public, a German and a Canadian court decided in two separate cases that Clearview's creation of biometric profiles is illegal and that Clearview must delete profiles upon request. This is a first step, but not enough to protect people's right to privacy.

  • On European Data Privacy Day we call on the EU to uphold strong encryption.

    On Privacy Day, European end-to-end encrypted services ProtonMail, Threema, Tresorit and Tutanota are calling on EU policy makers to rethink proposals made in December’s Council Resolution on Encryption.
