How safe is your private data? I\u2019m not talking about your PINs, email passwords and credit card information \u2013 I\u2019m talking about your very private data, or data directly relating to your privates.<\/span><\/p>\n

It might be a sexy snap you\u2019ve sent to a <\/span>long-distance lover<\/span><\/a>, or a huge backlog of your entire <\/span>sexting history<\/span><\/a>; even though you trust your partner not to be spreading your content, huge data breaches are still a common occurrence, with millions of people having their data accessed, stolen and in some cases shared.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a few simple ways to keep yourself safe at the most basic level, you\u2019ll be even safer with end-to-end encryption from some apps that we\u2019ll cover a little further down.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Basic Tips<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t believe just any old promise. <\/b>If you don\u2019t 100% trust the person you\u2019re sending your content to, then definitely don\u2019t do it, d’oy. Even if trust isn\u2019t the issue, then does the recipient at least take the minimal precautions to protect their data? Like for instance\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Set a passcode!<\/b> Still surprising how many people don\u2019t follow this simple safety tip, but set a darn passcode on your phone and your devices that will keep people out of it. Have your partner do the same. So basic, yet so effective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t show your face in pictures.<\/b> Context-free nudes (unless you\u2019ve got a unique piercing, tattoo or are wearing a name tag) can\u2019t be traced back to you, and at least are deniable. So snap only your sexy parts, not the whole package.<\/span><\/p>\n

Excellent Encryption Apps<\/h2>\n

1. Privates!<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a lot like Snapchat, but with way more security features. Afraid of someone taking a cheeky screen shot of your latest piece of erotic content? <\/span>Privates!<\/span><\/a> has additional safeguards that you can set yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the biggest differences between Privates! and Snapchat is total end-to-end encryption. Snapchat can internally access your content, and in some cases will hand it over to authorities. However with Privates!, your data can only be accessed by you and the person you send it to. It even allows you to delete and recall unopened messages.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Protonmail<\/h3>\n

Like Privates! is to Snapchat, <\/span>Protonmail<\/span> is to Gmail. It looks and works like Google\u2019s email service, but offers encryption on both ends to allow for safe sexy selfie sending. Their servers are also located in Switzerland where they are protected by Swiss privacy laws, meaning not even an NSA snoop will be seeing your \u2018fresh out the shower\u2019 selfie<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

While your emails sent over Gmail are encrypted and generally safe, Google keeps the decryption keys \u2013 meaning that if they wanted to view your messages, they could. Heck, Google even has automated systems that scan your emails for the purpose of targeted advertising. Protonmail on the other hand provides what they call \u2018zero-access encryption\u2019, meaning no person or automated system will be reading your messages.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Signal<\/h3>\n

iMessage may be convenient and generally safe, but by default, it backs up all your old messages and pictures to iCloud. <\/span>Signal<\/span><\/a> however allows you to text and share pictures, as well as make voice and video calls while keeping as little data as possible on their servers. Also, it won\u2019t save the pictures you take on the app to your phone\u2019s camera roll, meaning no surprises when you hand your photo album to a friend to scroll through.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
