Regardless of what we write in our privacy policy, if you wish to remain private, the safest option is to provide fewer details. What you don't provide can't be leaked in one way or the other. We can't guarantee privacy, but we make it easier to stay private than some hosts.

It's common to have user.name@host, which might look like John.Doe@mylaptop.While we can claim that this is generally a privacy oriented service, we may not always have the resources to fight legal requests in court, and often must comply with law enforcement. So please keep this in mind. These aren't servers in a bunker, in Greenland, guarded by mercenaries.
If you are law enforcement or you are curious about what we can offer to law enforcement, please check out our Law Enforcement FAQ.
