**Don’t share sensitive information over email** | Optional | Emails are very very easily intercepted. Also you can’t know how secure your recipient's environment is. Don’t share anything personal, such as bank details, passwords, and confidential information over email. Ideally, don’t use email as a primary method of communication.
**Don’t connect third-party apps to your email account** | Optional | If you give a third-party app (like Unroll.me) full access to your inbox, this makes you vulnerable to cyber attacks. The app can be compromised and, as a consequence, cyber criminals would gain unhindered access to all your emails and their contents.
**Consider switching to a more secure email provider** | Optional | Email providers such as [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com), [CounterMail](https://countermail.com), [HushMail](https://www.hushmail.com/tapfiliate/?tap_a=44784-d2adc0&tap_s=724845-260ce4&program=hushmail-for-small-business) (for business users) or [MailFence](https://mailfence.com?src=digitald) allow for end-to-end encryption, full privacy as well as more security-focused features. See [this guide](https://github.com/OpenTechFund/secure-email) for details of the inner workings of these services.
**Use Aliasing to keep your real email private** | Advanced | Email aliasing allows you to put anything before the `@` of your email domain, and have all mail land in you main email inbox. This means you can use a different email addresses for each account you sign up for, and if one company leaks your address you can see exactly who did it and block that alias in 1 click. [33Mail](http://33mail.com/Dg0gkEA) is a free service which lets you do just this, you can also use your own domain name if you have one. Alternatively you could configure your own self-hosted system, or if you have ProtonMail Visionary you can enable this feature.
**Use Aliasing / Anonymous Forwarding** | Advanced | Email aliasing allows messages to be sent to [anything]@my-domain.com and still land in your primary inbox. Effectively allowing you to use a different, unique email address for each service you sign up for. This means if start receiving spam, you can block that alias, and determine which company leaked your email address. <br>[Anonaddy](https://anonaddy.com) is an open source anonymous email forwarding service allowing you to create unlimited email aliases, with a free plan. As is [33Mail](http://33mail.com/Dg0gkEA), and this feature is also included with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/pricing)'s Visionary package.
