The background is an iceberg with 6 levels, denoting 6 different levels of privacy.

An even lower section of the iceberg is titled “The Privacy Activist” with a quote beside it that says “Privacy is a human right”. The logos depicted in this section are:

The lowest portion of the iceberg is titled “The Ghost”. There is a quote beside it that has been intentionally redacted. The images depicted in this section are:

    I suppose it aims to be private. According to their FAQ:

    • No 3rd-party content, ads, analytics, or trackers
    • Messages are forwarded, but may be stored on their servers in case of a failed delivery
    • Servers are in the Netherlands with Greenhost, which claims to focus on privacy. A backup server is in Poland with UpCloud
    • Messages can be encrypted (including attachments) with your own GPG/OpenPGP key if you enable the option

    The author answers “what if I don’t trust you?” by pointing out that you can host Addy on your own server. It is fully OSS and you don’t need to use their cloud service.
