How we protect your privacy
We believe privacy isn't a feature — it's a right. Here's exactly what we do to make sure your emails stay between you and the people you write to.

Four promises we make about your email
These aren't marketing claims — they're how we built the product.
Your password stays on your device
When you log in, your password is used to unlock your encryption keys right on your phone or computer. Your actual password is never sent to our servers — ever. Once you close your browser, the keys are wiped from memory.
Your emails are stored encrypted — even we can't read them
Every email sitting on our servers is scrambled, encrypted data. Our engineers, database administrators, and server hosts see nothing but random characters. Even if our servers were compromised, your emails would remain completely unreadable without your personal password.
Your emails travel through secure, encrypted channels
When your email moves between your device and our servers, it travels through the strongest available encrypted connection. We also strip out your personal information (like your IP address and device details) from email headers to protect your identity.
We're independently audited every year
We don't just ask you to trust us — we prove it. Our security is reviewed annually by independent security firms. We also maintain a bug bounty program that rewards researchers who find vulnerabilities, so we can fix them before they become problems.
What we protect you against
Real threats to your email privacy — and how Foxcolab handles each one differently.
| The Threat | Gmail, Outlook & Yahoo | Foxcolab Mail |
|---|---|---|
| Email provider employees reading your emails | Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo employees have access to your readable email data. | Impossible. We don't have the keys to decrypt your emails. |
| Hackers stealing emails from server breaches | A breach could expose millions of readable emails. | A breach would only expose scrambled, encrypted data that's useless without your password. |
| Government agencies demanding your emails | Providers can be compelled to hand over readable emails — sometimes without telling you. | We can only hand over encrypted data. Without your password, it's unreadable. |
| Hidden tracking pixels in emails | Loaded by default, revealing your location, device, and reading habits to senders. | Automatically stripped before the email appears in your inbox. |
| AI systems scanning your email content | Used to power smart features, ad targeting, and train AI models. | Impossible. Your emails are encrypted — there's nothing readable to scan. |
Security questions, answered simply
What happens if Foxcolab gets hacked?
Even in the worst case, hackers would only find scrambled, encrypted data. Your emails can't be read without your personal password, which we never store on our servers. It's like stealing a warehouse full of locked safes without any combinations — the contents remain completely protected.
Can government agencies read my emails?
No. If a government agency demands your data, we can only provide encrypted data that's unreadable without your personal password. Unlike Gmail or Outlook, we don't hold the keys to decrypt your messages. We literally cannot comply with requests to read your emails.
How is Foxcolab different from Gmail's encryption?
Gmail encrypts the connection between your browser and their servers (like a secure delivery truck), but Google holds the keys to read the contents. Foxcolab encrypts your emails on your device first (like putting your letter in a personal safe), then the safe travels in the truck. We never have the combination.
What if I lose my password?
When you create your account, you receive a recovery key. Store it somewhere safe — it's your backup way in. Because we don't store your encryption keys, we genuinely cannot reset your password for you. This is a deliberate security feature: if we could reset it, so could an attacker.
Do you sell my data or use it for advertising?
No. We don't sell data, show ads, train AI models on your emails, or share information with third parties. Our revenue comes from paid Pro subscribers — not from exploiting free users. Your email content is encrypted and invisible to us.
Is Foxcolab open to independent security audits?
Yes. Our security infrastructure is reviewed annually by independent security firms. We also run a continuous bug bounty program that rewards security researchers for finding vulnerabilities. Transparency and independent verification are core to how we build trust.
