“Drop Gmail, Outlook, and iCloud: Norwegian challenger clearly best on privacy”

Runbox is hailed in a major Norwegian news outlet for providing superior privacy protection.

The article is based on a study by Vienna University of Business and Economics, which compares Runbox to 4 other major email services.

Gmail is slammed in the same article for its poor default privacy settings and a pattern of privacy violations.

In the study, Runbox scores high in all categories:

• Informational Control: 7/7
• Decisional Control: 7/7
• Behavioral Control: 6/7
• Privacy Friendly Defaults: 7/7
• Technology Paternalism: 5/7
• Privacy By Design: 6/7
• Service Appeal: 5/7

At Runbox we are very happy with this increasing focus on privacy, which supports our long-held privacy commitment and our work on compliancy with EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.
