I wrote this page in case a company or service has a question about a registered email address. For example, a while back, a car rental company called and asked why their company name appeared before the @ symbol.

An email address from @privachie.nl or @proton.privachie.nl is not spam or fake. I use this domain with SimpleLogin by Proton to create personal email aliases for extra privacy. It's wise to have a separate email address for each online account or service you use. The best part? If I start receiving spam or phishing emails to a specific alias, I can simply disable it and create a new one. If I see many unwanted messages on an alias linked to a particular company, it's a red flag that they might have shared my information without my consent or that their database has been breached.
