Easy to use private email service, empowering individuals and businesses to reclaim their online privacy.

About us

StartMail is a secure email service that protects your privacy. It was built by the people behind Startpage, the world’s first private search engine. As early as 2005 we recognized the need to treat privacy as a fundamental right. We turned out to be ahead of our time. Over the next decade, revelation after revelation showed how much our online privacy had come under attack. In response, we built more and more defenses into our search engines to protect our users. People now use Startpage and Ixquick to find information millions of times per day, without being tracked or profiled. We then turned to our next challenge: email privacy. Everyone uses email, but sending regular email is like sending a postcard—it makes snooping very easy! Advanced encryption technology already exists to stop hacking and mass surveillance. Making this technology user‐friendly was our challenge. That’s why we built StartMail from scratch: a total solution for protecting your email privacy that includes features like extra-secure data storage, disposable email addresses, and an ownership that will resist unwarranted intrusion. It has easy‐to‐use ‘one‐click’ encryption, and a very clear privacy policy. In April 2016 we launched StartMail for Businesses (now called Custom Domain Accounts) - use your own domain name(s) for email addresses.

  • It's 2026, and the need for robust data privacy is more important than ever! So WHY are you still letting "free" email providers like #gmail scan your emails, profile you based on your most sensitive messages, and share your information with anyone who's willing to pay them! Now is the time to protect the things that matter most and take control BACK from Big Tech.

    • Promotional graphic for Data Privacy Week 2026 featuring a 50% discount on an annual subscription with StartMail, highlighted by a digital motif with a padlock symbol and floating file type icons.
  • Whether it's Santa Claus or Big Tech, we know that you don't want ANYONE watching you 24/7. Here's to keep your Holiday plans and everything else away from invasive eyes, and enjoying time with your loved ones in peace and privacy! 🎄 🤐

    • Illustration featuring a cartoon baghead character wearing a Santa hat and red tie, promoting StartMail. Text surrounding the character reads, "He sees you when you're sleeping, He knows if you're awake, He knows if you've been BAD or GOOD... time for you to get a BREAK." Snowflakes and decorative holiday elements appear in the background.
  • We get it...paid, private email might sound odd to someone who's used to a "free" service like GMail. But there's a reason why SO many customers and reviewers keep recommending us. We give you more of what you need, and nothing that you don't. So why not give us a try?

    • No alternative text description for this image
  • Now that more users want privacy in their technology, how can you differentiate who's truly serious about protecting your data. Our founder and CEO lays out two key things to look for, and they've been part of StartMail from the very beginning...

  • This Cyber Monday, there are probably lots of companies offering you deals. But only one of them wants to help you protect your privacy AND offer you features that can save you even more money. But that's the StartMail difference, and it's been part of our company from the start!
