Description

Mailfence is a secure and privacy-respecting email suite based in Belgium, designed for individuals, businesses, and organizations seeking full control over their digital communications. Built with end-to-end encryption and hosted entirely in Europe, Mailfence ensures that user data is protected by stringent EU privacy laws, including the GDPR. Unlike mainstream email providers, Mailfence does not rely on advertising, data harvesting, or third-party tracking. All data is hosted on privately owned servers located in Belgium, ensuring complete sovereignty and protection from extraterritorial regulations like the U.S. CLOUD Act. This makes Mailfence an ideal solution for users and institutions seeking compliance with European digital autonomy standards. Mailfence offers a comprehensive suite of encrypted communication tools including email, calendar, contacts, document storage, and secure messaging — all accessible through a modern web interface and compatible with standard email protocols (IMAP, SMTP, POP). Users benefit from OpenPGP-based end-to-end encryption, digital signatures, and two-factor authentication to safeguard their identities and content. In addition to individual use, Mailfence provides professional and enterprise solutions tailored for teams, NGOs, journalists, and public sector entities, with features such as custom domains, user management, and priority support. By combining transparency (through published transparency reports and warrant canaries), user control, and open standards, Mailfence empowers European users with a trusted and sovereign alternative to surveillance-driven cloud communication platforms.
