Multiple layers of encryption

We provide industry-standard OpenPGP encryption and all communications between you and our servers use our secure A+ grade SSL/TLS connection (rated by Qualsys SSL Labs).

Two-step verification

Prevent unauthorized access to your Hushmail account by using a two-step process to authenticate your identity from any device we don't recognize.

Data stored in Canada

Enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your data is stored only in Canada and under the protection of Canadian Law.
