The OAIC's Privacy Awareness Week theme is about building trust when complaints are resolved.

True, but we think it starts earlier. Whether you scan your customers' mail. Whether you sell their data. Whether you build features around what they want, or what your shareholders want.

You're the customer here, not the product. Always have been.

"Free" business email is one of the most expensive choices a small business can make. Gmail is free because your data is the product. When you're handling client contracts and financial info, that's a real liability.

Fastmail gives your business custom domains, fast human support, and a privacy-first approach, without the enterprise-tier price tag. Your domain belongs to you. No lock-in.

I've been working on a Fastmail Safari Extension for iOS in my free time. It lets you create and select masked emails on the page you're on via the Fastmail API. Think "Hide My Email" on iCloud, but for Fastmail users.

There are a few similar apps on the App Store, but they're all standalone apps rather than a Safari extension, which is where you'd actually need this functionality.

Running and using a debug build on my phone for some time now, but still haven't decided whether I'll bother publishing it. Paying $99/year for a developer account kind of makes it pointless.
