3. Jurisdiction and Legal Protection

As a Hong Kong-based company, we are not subject to foreign surveillance laws or data sharing agreements such as:

  • Five Eyes intelligence sharing agreements
  • EU-US Privacy Shield
  • US Cloud Act
  • Foreign government surveillance programs

Hong Kong's legal framework provides strong privacy protections:

  • Strict requirements for data access requests
  • Independent judiciary system
  • No automatic data sharing with foreign governments
  • Requirement for proper court orders from Hong Kong courts

Any request for user data must go through Hong Kong's legal system. We will only comply with data requests that:

  • Are properly authorized by a Hong Kong court
  • Follow due process under Hong Kong law
  • Are specific and limited in scope

Even in cases where we are legally compelled to provide data, our zero-knowledge architecture means we can only provide encrypted data that we cannot decrypt.

4. Data Collection and Use

We collect and process only the information necessary to provide our email services. This includes:

  • Account information (email address, name)
  • Billing information (for paid services)
  • Technical support information

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We maintain a strict zero-knowledge architecture, which means:

The only data we store and can access is your account information, which includes:

  • Account settings and preferences

This account information is only accessible to:

  • Our employees for technical support purposes

  • Card information (processed directly by the payment processor)
  • Billing address (for payment verification)
  • Transaction amounts and dates

All employees with access to customer data are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are trained in data protection practices. We do not sell or share your personal data with any other third parties.
