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.

    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

        We like the skepticism. 😀 Hope the following clarifies things a bit:

        1. The repo contains the privacy-kit library code under the /src directory.
        2. The website files in the repo are test files used by contributors to test the library.
        3. The code from the repo is packaged into an npm library as mention in the README.md.
        4. The privacy-kit-*.js are the built library assets that you can build by running npm run build.

        Feel free to ask any questions for more clarification. Also the library is tiny it’s designed to have zero dependencies and no impact on website performance.
