What is Email Masking all about?
Email Masking allows you to create an email address that you can use to sign up for online services without revealing your true identity. Emails sent to the mask can be forwarded to your main inbox or blocked entirely, helping you control unwanted messages and reduce spam. The emails sent to your email mask will be forwarded to your actual inbox.

Four ways Email Masking keeps you safe online
Mitigate phishing risk
Masking your email address reduces the risk of falling victim to phishing attacks because it makes it more challenging to obtain your real email address.
Create disposable emails
Generate disposable emails for online shopping or software trials. Dispose of them when they are no longer needed or if they are compromised to keep both personal and professional inboxes clean.
Reduce spam load
Control what reaches your inbox by turning off forwarding or deleting email masks when they get compromised or start attracting unwanted messages.
Protect your privacy online
Prevent companies from profiling your behavior or selling your data. Masked emails hide your real address at signup, limiting targeted ads and commercial exploitation across your accounts.
