Look Under The Hood: (edit)

  • When a user requests to generate an email alias, a popup would appear (similar to “Sign In With Apple”) prompting the user to sign in with Privacy Portal in order to authorize generating and filling the email alias.
  • As mentioned in the library’s Github page, an account is required in order for Privacy Portal to be able to forward emails to your personal email address.
  • Privacy Portal has a transparent and fair business model that allows small creators and businesses to use our services free of charge under a certain usage threshold.
  • Privacy Portal is built for privacy and processes all emails in memory without writing them to disk. It does not store, collect, share, nor sell any user data. Privacy Policy
  • Users can sign up on Privacy Portal with an anonymous email address for even more privacy.
  • Email Aliases generated for a particular website can only relay emails authorized by said website and are unusable by other third parties making it a perfect solution for eliminating spam, and email sharing accross websites.

    Regarding those screenshots:

    But then visitors immediately have to create an account with pportal.io to actually get at the newsletter/sign-up/etc.?

    I had a quick look at your main page but it did not answer that question.

    I understand that a web dev who wants to offer this has to open an account or get an api key of they want to use your service.

    Also I could not find a link to the git repo.

      this site seems super sketch in general looking at the original privacy portal. on the github page there’s no listed contributers besides themselves with a MIT license, and they only have two things, a mail service thing and a file app with a rather barebones site in general.

      just looks weird

      edit: also, the description is kinda misleading it’s not a “for the masses” type thing it’s just for site owners and two rather basic things.

        We usually don’t trust new services either but here are a few points that might address your concerns:

        • The privacy-kit library was just announced yesterday. There are no external contributors yet but it’s open source and anyone is welcome to help make it better.

        • “for the masses” means that it doesn’t require high technical skills and anyone can include it to their website. This is one of our goals: democratizing online privacy.

        • Our website is simple on purpose. We aim to keep it this way. We build everything from scratch to reduce external dependencies to the strict minimum.

        • We’re also contributors to Lemmy and other select FOSS projects: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4881
