Product showcase: SimpleLogin keeps your email address private with aliases

Proton's SimpleLogin forwards mail through aliases so users can hide a primary email address.

SimpleLogin, an open-source email-alias service from Proton, creates forwarding addresses for registrations and correspondence so a primary mailbox stays private. A hands-on test with Gmail confirmed two-way forwarding, alias disable controls, and clients for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, iOS, and Android, plus authenticator 2FA and WebAuthn. The free plan includes 10 aliases and one mailbox; Premium costs $4 per month or $36 per year and adds unlimited aliases, custom domains, multiple mailboxes, and PGP. Proton's policy says it can access metadata such as addresses, subjects, and timestamps, and it scans unencrypted inbound mail for spam and viruses.

How to Use AI With Your Privacy Intact

WIRED guide examines AI chatbot privacy risks and zero-data-retention caveats, highlighting Moxie Marlinspike's cryptographically private Confer chatbot.

The article details how ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini default to storing highly personal conversations that can be shared, used for training, or obtained via legal process. Enterprise zero-data-retention contracts from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google delete records after processing but carry exceptions: Anthropic excludes Mythos-class models like Fable 5.1, OpenAI's Private Safety Processing analyzes activity before deletion, and Google logs sanitized prompts. Moxie Marlinspike's new Confer chatbot uses cryptography to prevent its own servers from logging conversations, unlike policy-based promises such as Proton's Lumo. Consumer options generally offer weaker privacy guarantees than enterprise ZDR.
