In the age of technology, the right to privacy is very
vulnerable and anyone can attack it. Now that communication is mostly virtual
it also means that your messages and calls can easily be compromised. This also
goes for your personal data. If you are worried about your privacy, here are
some apps that have various features designed to protect your information.
Protonmail
When it comes to your emails’ safety, this app is one of the
best. Emails do not require personal information and they are anonymous and it
offers free basic accounts that you can upgrade. It provides secure email, and
it is available online while also having a free mobile app.
Tutanova
Tutanova is another mailing service that will secure your
emails, automatically encrypting all data, including your contacts. It can be
accessed from a web browser or you can get the app version from an app store.
Tresorit
It offers you 1,000 GB of encrypted storage for your files.
Sharing data is easy and after you send an encrypted link you can revoke access
anytime you want. It is available for $12.50 a month.
Spideroak
If you are looking for a safe space storage this is what you
need. It is available for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android and it provides data
encryption as well as a backup. You can also share data with self-destructing
links. It costs $9/month for 250GB, $12 for 1,000GB and $25 for 5TB.
Apple
Both Apple’s messaging app iMessage, and Face Time have
end-to-end encryption as well. Obviously, this only works if you chat with
another Apple device

This app makes sure that no one will ever gain access to
your conversations, not even the Whatsapp servers. The application is encrypted
end-to-end which means that your messages and calls are perfectly safe.
