Privacy Portal Extension
Your personal email can easily be linked to your identity. Using the same email address for all your accounts makes it extremely easy for advertisers, data brokers, and bad actors to connect your accounts and aggregate your data to profile you. Using unique addresses for every service shrinks your digital footprint and makes you a smaller target.
Whenever a website asks you for your email address, simply type the \"@\" sign in the email field and Privacy Portal will automatically fill in a new Privacy Address that privately relays emails to your personal inbox. Alternatively, you can click on the \"Hide my Email\" suggestion that appears on the page for the same effect.
Privacy Portal's Mail Relay is compatible with all standard email providers. You don't need a special email account to use it.
