Full-Stack Encryption Lowers Profiling
- Using Tuta protects not just email but encrypted calendars and contacts, preventing profile-building and targeted ads.
- Even when you email Gmail users, storing your data encrypted on Tuta reduces your exposure to profiling.

- The Tuta team negotiated to buy the short domain tuta.com from a Brazilian owner via a colleague visiting family.
- Securing that domain made the rebrand from Tutanota to Tuta feasible and easier to remember.
