The problem with most of the Internet services is that they tend to change their features and privacy policies so frequently that the user can\u2019t keep pace with all the changes. We have already discussed ways to delete your personal data from the Internet. In this article, we will show you various tools that you can use to encrypt your data, be it emails, chat or even local data in your computer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Web mail security: Encipher.it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are using web email services like Gmail, Outlook.com or Yahoo Mail, all your emails are already saved in encrypted format in the server. Nevertheless, it is good to double-encrypt important mails so that only you or the person who knows the decryption key can read the messages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/encipher.it\/\" target=\"_blank\">Encipher.it<\/a> provides a JavaScript code snippet to password protect your message in the web mail and send it in encrypted format (AES).<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> Go to Encipher.it help page and drag and drop the bookmarklet to your browser\u2019s toolbar. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox are supported and their variants should also work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. <\/strong>Go to your Email inbox and compose a new email. Once you are done composing the email, click the \u201cEncipher.it\u201d bookmarklet.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/privacy-encipher-1.png\" alt=\"privacy-encipher-1\" width=\"600\" height=\"316\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-46297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/privacy-encipher-1.png 600w, https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/privacy-encipher-1-300x158.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><BR CLEAR=LEFT><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> This will open a popup asking you to enter an encryption key.
