Here’s why KingSMTP stands out as a privacy-focused transactional email service provider, ideal for users who prioritize security and privacy in their email communication.
KingSMTP is built with open-source software
KingSMTP is powered by Postal, an open-source software that you can download and self-host on your own servers. This gives you full control and flexibility over your email delivery infrastructure. The open-source version of Postal is available on GitHub, allowing you to manage and maintain it yourself.
The key difference between using KingSMTP’s cloud-hosted service and the self-hosted version is that we handle all the technical aspects of maintenance and management for you. With our hosted service, you can focus on your business without worrying about server upkeep or performance issues.
Hosted outside the EU and US, giving you more control
KingSMTP is hosted in India, outside both the EU and US jurisdictions. This means your data is not subject to the strict privacy regulations of the EU or potential data requests under US laws, like the Cloud Act. By choosing India as our hosting location, we provide you with more control and flexibility over your data while ensuring it’s kept secure and private.
We use DigitalOcean, a trusted US-based cloud provider, to power our infrastructure. However, because the servers are physically located in India, your data falls under Indian law, not US or EU regulations. This setup allows us to offer reliable service while avoiding the regulatory constraints imposed by the EU and the US.
With KingSMTP, you get robust data security along with the freedom and privacy that come from operating outside of these major jurisdictions.
It’s a privacy-focused transactional email service
KingSMTP is built with privacy at its core. Our focus on delivering transactional emails without compromising your privacy ensures that we process only the essential data. All email delivery is handled with strict adherence to privacy standards, and our operations are transparent, allowing anyone to verify our claims.
In a world where corporations and proprietary services often raise concerns about data privacy, KingSMTP offers peace of mind by prioritizing data security and privacy in every aspect of our service.
Completely independent and self-funded
KingSMTP operates independently without outside investors or large corporations influencing our service. We are fully self-funded, relying on our subscribers to support our privacy-first email delivery platform. This independence allows us to remain true to our mission of providing a secure and privacy-focused service.
Minimal data collection
At KingSMTP, we minimize data collection to the absolute essentials. Unlike other email services that may collect unnecessary information, we focus on just what’s needed for efficient email delivery. We do not track personal data, and every bit of information processed is secure and limited to its intended purpose.
No personal data collection
We never track, collect, or store any personally identifiable information. KingSMTP handles all email delivery anonymously and in aggregate, ensuring that personal details are never part of the process. You retain full ownership and control of your data, and you can request the deletion of any collected information at any time.
No cookies or persistent tracking
KingSMTP does not use cookies or generate persistent identifiers for tracking. We process each email request without storing unnecessary information or requiring user consent for tracking purposes. This makes us compliant with privacy regulations like GDPR and PECR without the hassle of intrusive cookie banners.
You fully own your email data
When you use KingSMTP, you own and control all of your email data. While we handle the technical side of email delivery, your data remains fully yours. You can delete or export your data at any time, and we do not share or sell your information to third parties.
No third-party involvement
KingSMTP does not send, share, or sell your email data to any advertising companies or other third parties. Your data is not monetized or harvested for behavioral insights. Our business model is subscription-based, and we prioritize your privacy and security over any other interests.
Open to transparency and verification
At KingSMTP, we believe in transparency. Our commitment to privacy can be reviewed and verified by anyone. Our operations are open to scrutiny, ensuring that we are always held accountable to our privacy promises.
