My Trust score counts only things Tuta controls: reliability, abuse handling, email security, account security, transparency, fair dealing and support. It doesn't change the stars above. I'll show a score once I've had a week of my own checks. So far 1.8 points are confirmed. How it's worked out

From public sources, last read on 31 October 2026: breaches from Have I Been Pwned (CC BY 4.0), which lists breaches of the provider's own site, not of every account that uses it; incidents as the provider reports them. None of this changes my stars.

Spotted something wrong, out of date or missing about Tuta? Members can send me a correction, ideally with a link to the provider's own page. I check every one before anything changes.

Facts are checked against Tuta's own pages and dated. Offer links are referral links: I may earn a commission, and it never changes the stars or the order. How I make money
