How Norton wants to protect your emails from GAFAM tracking

Norton announces the creation of a new “Private mail” feature, intended to make your emails more confidential.

Protecting privacy on the internet also requires good protection of email exchanges. Those who are particularly attentive to this issue generally use providers recognized in the field, such as Proton Mail. But with the new product that has just arrived on Norton, you will no longer need to go elsewhere to be better protected. All you have to do is press a button in your software.

Your email address goes under the radar

Trying to better protect the confidentiality of your emails can sometimes be complicated. Because many have created a widely used email address for several years before realizing the problem. So, instead of making a tedious transfer to a new box, you should take a look at the new product from Norton.

The antivirus software is implementing a new feature called “Private Mail”. Thanks to this, you will be able to send emails from your email address without it being displayed, the recipient only seeing a generic address. This means that private information such as your first and last name can be preserved without having to change provider.

GAFAM will no longer be able to easily trace emails

Better yet, the Private Mail option is designed to prevent the tracking of your emails. An extremely widespread practice, which in fact concerns simply 50% of emails according to the company Proton, and which GAFAMs like Google with Gmail and Microsoft with Outlook indulge in.

Once the function is activated, Norton will remove these trackers which allow third parties to know information such as your location, your browsing habits or even your way of consuming. The link tracking parameters present in the emails will also be deleted by the software before being sent to you. Norton finally wishes to clarify that “ Private Email does not have access to the content of the email. » A welcome tool?
