online dating and privacy

[indigovt]

Hi everyone,

Maybe it's off topic but I couldn't find better place. Do you know any tool for keeping conversation private? I've met great girl couple of weeks ago and we exchange emails with some informations which I don't want to be seen by others. I thought that it will be a good idea to hide this emails and make them impossible to read except us.

 

Do you know, by any chance, some tool to make this task done? Thanks in advance.

Private from whom? Do people read your emails presently??? Your request sounds downright bizarre...

You could google "email encryption" and do some reading from there.

 

Generally when someone asks for more security/privacy it helps if they describe which threat(s) they are trying to protect against, but you're right that this isn't really the right forum.

Thank you for suggestion. I've spent a while on google and found couple of them, like symantec.com, datamotion.com or sealcast.com i'll try those. They look promising.

Why email encryption? I've read recently about what email providers are doing with our messages (including scanning every email and reading messages). Maybe it's overstatement but i want to have little privacy and feel uncomfortable when someone is looking over my shoulder during my intimate conversation. But again, maybe the others don't have a problem with it.

 

Anyway, thank you for help! Appreciate it!

You seem a little paranoid... HOWEVER, a reasonable idea is to share an e-mail account and only message one another in the drafts area of that shared email account.

 

This way the messages never even take-off on the paths known to almost all e-mails.

 

Of course it isn't foolproof, but if you are merely a couple of lovers sharing intimate discussion, nobody is going to give a darn about your data even if they should discover it.
