    I’d recommend Threema. It’s privacy focused, based in Switzerland. You don’t even need a phone number to create an account, they collect no data on you (claimed, but haven’t checked) and the code is open source, under A-GPL 3 license.

    There’s a build for Apple and Android, for which you pay once.

    I use this to talk with important family members.

    Why this ensures the account is deleted, I wanted to convince the company to improve their policy so that other people will have an easier time to delete their accounts, should they wish this. That is also why I wasn’t talking “legal” and mentioned the company benefits from this.

    It’s easy to say “Del my account per Article 17 GDPR”. I wrote this whole template so that other might have an easier time than I do. I posted the template here so it inspires other privacy-aware individuals to do the same. If 1 website changes their account deletion policy because of it, it’s still a win.

    It’s good to know that they can’t bypass wireguard or Tor. I was a worried about that.

    As others have suggests, I will probably use a separate device to check my mail. That seems the safest and fairest option both from the company and my perspective.
