Privacy by Design: How Bareed Protects Your Data

September 2025

Email is not just a communication medium.

It's an archive of relationships, contracts, negotiations, photos, questions, and time-pressured decisions. Anyone who's lived in email knows the uncomfortable truth: the threat isn't only hacking—the threat is a system that is opaque and behaviorally fragile. Bareed was born with one idea: privacy by design—native, not patched.

What does "privacy by design" really mean?

It's not long legal terms or a small-print policy. It's an engineering principle:

  • Protect data before collecting it
  • Minimize data before storing it
  • Encrypt data before transmitting it

We don't wait for problems—we prevent them from existing.

How does Bareed apply it?

Think of redesigning an aircraft engine room with a single goal: protect the passenger.

First: Minimum data, zero curiosity

We don't ask for data that doesn't serve you. We don't farm behavior.

  • No collection of reading habits
  • No content analysis for profit
  • No selling behavior to advertisers
  • Email stays email—never a data farm

Second: Core encryption, not optional

End-to-end encryption is the default. The server cannot read or share content because it's locked with your key.

This isn't a promise; it's architecture.

Third: Architecture that shrinks blast radius

Layered separation like a fortress of narrow corridors. Breaching one layer doesn't open the rest, much like pressure-proof compartments in submarines.

Fourth: Procedures on your side

  • No tracking links
  • No auto-loading external images
  • No third-party hooks without consent
  • Built-in password tools

Simple defaults that block thousands of social-engineering attempts.

Why does this matter for Arab users?

Here, email is work documents, official transactions, proofs, projects, sensitive files. Attacks are often social: impersonation, fake links, workplace pressure, messages that look normal but are traps.

Privacy by design blocks much of that before it starts.

What does this mean for you?

Your experience is protected even if you're not a security expert.

  • No shadow life of your mail on ad-company servers
  • You truly own your content—not just rent space on a bigger platform

The bottom line

Real security is built in from day one.

Bareed protects identity, privacy, and your digital space—not just messages.

Privacy by design is a promise: the difference between a product living on your data and one built to protect it.
