We recognize the increasing risks faced by human rights defenders and activists. We are committed to securing the identity and information of our grantees, and of the UAF A&P team. While applying for a grant, sensitive information and data needs to be exchanged about the need and circumstances in which activists are seeking grants. This makes it essential that we secure our communication, so that no third party entity, including the email service that transmits or receives the message, can access it. It is also equally important that in case anyone else intercepts our emails, they will not be able to read them or censor them. ProtonMail email service implements both measures with end-to end encryption. However, end-to-end encryption can only work when both the sender and recipient are ProtonMail users. ProtonMail also protects emails stored on the server with zero access encryption, and they also do not monitor or record user activity including IP addresses.
