The court ordered the company to develop a way to monitor an individual’s account. At the end of 2020, a regional court in Germany ignored the previous cases and decided to impose the ISP regulations on Tutanota. Unfortunately, what the government giveth, the government taketh away. In recent years, two court cases affirmed that Tutanota was not subject to nasty data retention laws that Germany applies to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). This isn’t ideal, but Tutanota provides a detailed explanation of the laws that apply to them and the data they may be forced by law to disclose. In addition, Germany is a member of the 14 Eyes intelligence alliance. That said, as elsewhere in the West, there is political pressure to reduce personal privacy rights to “counter terrorism”. Germany has strong privacy laws, including the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz and GDPR. In addition, Tutanota’s affordable business version enables companies and organisations of all sizes to easily secure their email communication. With its unique open source technology Tutanota fights for privacy and freedom of speech online, allowing everybody including NGOs, journalists and activists to send encrypted emails on desktop and mobile. Tutanota launched in 2011 (not long before Edward Snowden began leaking information), and is based in Hanover, Germany.
