Runbox is a sustainable, independent, and employee-owned email service based in Oslo, Norway. We have been providing professional email services since 2000.
Our servers run on 100% Norwegian renewable energy, primarily hydroelectricity — one of the cleanest energy sources on earth. We are carbon negative, double offsetting any remaining emissions, and rated an Ethical Consumer Best Buy since 2020.
Because our servers are physically located in Oslo, we operate exclusively under Norwegian jurisdiction. Norway's legal framework is one of the strongest in the world, protecting your data with two layers of privacy law — GDPR and the Norwegian Personal Data Act — enforced by Datatilsynet, one of Europe's most rigorous data protection authorities. Norway has been protecting personal data since 1978.
For businesses with GDPR obligations or ESG commitments, Runbox keeps your email in Norway, under Norwegian law, on 100% renewable energy.
No ads. No scanning. No AI reading your inbox. No tracking. No sharing of personal data.

StartMail is a secure email service that protects your privacy. It was built by the people behind Startpage, the world’s first private search engine.
As early as 2005 we recognized the need to treat privacy as a fundamental right. We turned out to be ahead of our time. Over the next decade, revelation after revelation showed how much our online privacy had come under attack. In response, we built more and more defenses into our search engines to protect our users.
People now use Startpage and Ixquick to find information millions of times per day, without being tracked or profiled.
We then turned to our next challenge: email privacy. Everyone uses email, but sending regular email is like sending a postcard—it makes snooping very easy!
Advanced encryption technology already exists to stop hacking and mass surveillance. Making this technology user‐friendly was our challenge.
That’s why we built StartMail from scratch: a total solution for protecting your email privacy that includes features like extra-secure data storage, disposable email addresses, and an ownership that will resist unwarranted intrusion. It has easy‐to‐use ‘one‐click’ encryption, and a very clear privacy policy.
In April 2016 we launched StartMail for Businesses (now called Custom Domain Accounts) - use your own domain name(s) for email addresses.
