Disroot is a nonprofit that does no profiling and no data mining. It takes Monero for genuinely anonymous support. Its opt-in Lacre and GPG setup is arguably the best-designed encryption in this group because your private key never touches the server, which is true self-custody. The defaults are weaker. Storage uses full-disk encryption that the provider can read. Password recovery is also allowed, which leaves it short of zero-knowledge out of the box. Its webmail and 2FA have had a rougher security history. Pick it over StartMail for self-held keys and anonymous payment. Choose StartMail instead for a stronger default that takes less setup.
