Email is our only business

What does this mean?

We’ve been doing email for over 20 years. We have no competing loyalties to other products driven by advertising revenue. Fastmail’s work on internet standards and open source powers many email services besides our own. We take pride in being experts in our field and giving you the best experience possible.

We advocate for your privacy

What does this mean?

It takes more than one voice to create change. Fastmail partners with groups that inform consumers, advise governmental policy, and shine a light on bad business behavior. We are proud of our work with Electronic Frontiers Australia, Digital Rights Watch, Australian Privacy Foundation, and the Communications Alliance.

We contribute to building out a better world.

“We applaud Fastmail’s commitment to human rights in a digital context. The world would be a better place if more tech companies followed their lead.”

Justin Warren Chair, Electronic Frontiers Australia

We are actively involved in privacy groups in Australia: EFA, DRW, APF.

We co-sign anti-surveillance initiatives globally where appropriate.

We educate tech businesses on privacy

Our staff gives talks at meetups and conferences to educate other tech businesses on matters such as their responsible use of data and building meaningful privacy policies.
