Look Under The Hood: (edit)
- When a user requests to generate an email alias, a popup would appear (similar to "Sign In With Apple") prompting the user to sign in with Privacy Portal in order to authorize generating and filling the email alias.
- As mentioned in the library's Github page, an account is required in order for Privacy Portal to be able to forward emails to your personal email address.
- Privacy Portal has a transparent and fair business model that allows small creators and businesses to use our services free of charge under a certain usage threshold.
- Privacy Portal is built for privacy and processes all emails in memory without writing them to disk. It does not store, collect, share, nor sell any user data. Privacy Policy
- Users can sign up on Privacy Portal with an anonymous email address for even more privacy.
- Email Aliases generated for a particular website can only relay emails authorized by said website and are unusable by other third parties making it a perfect solution for eliminating spam, and email sharing accross websites.
Regarding those screenshots:
But then visitors immediately have to create an account with pportal .io to actually get at the newsletter/sign-up/etc.?
I had a quick look at your main page but it did not answer that question.
I understand that a web dev who wants to offer this has to open an account or get an api key of they want to use your service.
Also I could not find a link to the git repo.
edit: according to OP's answer it is as I thought. Yet another company that collects data both on sites and their visitors. Another iteration of the good old Free model a lรก Google.
edit2: my personal recommendation is still that people get themselves at least one extra email account with plus-addressing. From a trusted provider of course.
this site seems super sketch in general looking at the original privacy portal. on the github page there's no listed contributers besides themselves with a MIT license, and they only have two things, a mail service thing and a file app with a rather barebones site in general.
just looks weird
edit: also, the description is kinda misleading it's not a "for the masses" type thing it's just for site owners and two rather basic things.
We like the skepticism. ๐ Hope the following clarifies things a bit:
npm run build.Feel free to ask any questions for more clarification. Also the library is tiny it's designed to have zero dependencies and no impact on website performance.
