Q: What’s the difference between Hushmail for Personal Use and the other Hushmail plans?

Hushmail for Personal Use does not include the ability to connect Hushmail to a custom domain. In other words, your email address will end in one of our domains, like @hushmail.com or @hush.com. If you want to use your own personal domain (like yourname@yourname.com), you’ll need Hushmail for Small Business. Also, please note, Hushmail for Personal Use is not intended for any healthcare professionals. If you plan to use Hushmail for your healthcare or behavioral health practice, you’ll need Hushmail for Healthcare — even if you’re a solo practitioner.

Q: I’m a solo healthcare practitioner. What happens if I get Hushmail for Personal Use for my practice?

Hushmail for Personal Use is not designed for healthcare or behavioral health practices. It does not include an email archive, Business Associate Agreement (BAA), or Information Manager Agreement (IMA), which support your compliance with HIPAA or Canadian healthcare laws. In the event of an audit, we would not be able to confirm your compliance with the relevant authority. For these reasons, we reserve the right to switch anyone not using the account for personal usage to our Hushmail for Healthcare plan.

Q: Does Hushmail comply with privacy laws?

All Hushmail plans comply with GDPR. And depending on the plan you choose, Hushmail also complies with HIPAA, PIPEDA, and the various provincial privacy laws in Canada. If you’re unsure what plan you need for your business, chat with Sales. We’ll be happy to help.

Whether you’re dealing with a real estate agent, financial planner, insurance broker, accountant, or even your children’s school, email is the go-to channel for sending sensitive documents.

When you send an attachment, you tend to assume the other party will handle it responsibly. They’re professionals, after all.

But the reality is, many companies and organizations don’t even do the bare minimum to protect your data.

Instead, they use boilerplate disclaimers to absolve themselves of liability — which do nothing to protect you. This is exactly why more and more people sign up for their own encrypted email service.

True Story From a Newbie

I have just begun my Hush mail experience and could not be more pleased! I am "technology challenged" but everyone I spoke with was kind, patient, and guided me through the process smoothly. Yes, I used the term "people!" I was actually able to interact with real people rather than an automated menu! Nothing beats personal service.

What is a virtual private network (VPN)?

Think of a VPN like a secure tunnel between your device and the internet. When you use a VPN, everything you do online — browsing, downloading, streaming — goes through this tunnel, keeping your data private. It also hides your location, making it look like you're browsing from somewhere else. This means cyber criminals, websites, and even your internet provider can’t see what you’re doing or track your real location. It’s like wearing a cloak of invisibility for your online life.
