Secure Communication

We use the Protonmail email service to improve the security of our communications.

Sending an email is a bit like sending a postcard, easy to read as it passes through the delivery system, but messages sent between Protonmail, Aktivix and Greennet have an additional layer of security.

We recommend that you send us email from an account on one of these services.

Sending us an encrypted email can never guarantee absolute security. To learn more about encrypted communications see the guide on Tech Tools for Activism.
