Email built for humans, not advertisers
Gmail and Outlook are free because you are the product. We built Airfree Mail as a privacy-first alternative — no ads, no scanning of your messages, and multi-region infrastructure so your data never crosses a border you did not choose.
What we stand for
Principles we do not compromise on
Three commitments that shape every product decision, every infrastructure choice, and every line of our privacy policy.
Your inbox is private
Zero ad-targeting. Zero content scanning. We do not read your email to sell you things, and we never will. Your messages exist for you and your recipients — nobody else.
Your data stays in your region
Choose where your mail is stored. Multi-region infrastructure means your data never crosses a border you have not approved. GDPR compliant, with ISO 27001 certification in progress.
Email should be affordable without selling you
Honest, flat-rate pricing. No freemium bait-and-switch. No ad-supported tier that funds the rest. The price you see covers what it costs — nothing hidden, nothing traded.
Our story
From a privacy incident to a private-by-default inbox
We started because we were angry. We stayed because it turns out a lot of people want their email to be private.
This timeline is illustrative of Airfree Mail's founding vision and roadmap.
2021
Founded
Founded after a privacy incident at a major tech company exposed 40 million user emails to advertisers. We decided private email should be the default, not a niche product.
2022
Free tier launched
Launched a free tier on day one, because we believe privacy-first email should be accessible — not a luxury reserved for people who can afford a subscription.
2023
ISO 27001 preparation, CalDAV/CardDAV, DPAs
Began ISO 27001 certification preparation, shipped CalDAV and CardDAV support for native calendar and contacts sync, and published GDPR Data Processing Agreements for all regions.
2025
End-to-end encrypted Drive in beta
Launched end-to-end encrypted Drive in public beta — the last piece of a fully private workspace where your files, mail, calendar, and contacts are yours alone.
The team
Privacy practitioners, not evangelists
Lawyers, engineers, and researchers who have spent careers fighting for digital privacy — now building the tools they always wished existed.
