What is SafetyAnswer?

SafetyAnswer is an e-mail service that allows users to receive incoming e-mails with anonymized sender addresses, and to reply to e-mails received with an anonymous address to deliver the e-mail accurately to the sender of the original e-mail.

When you receive an e-mail through SafetyAnswer, an anonymized address is assigned to each sender's address. The email is then delivered to the recipient as if it were sent from the anonymized address. It is impossible to determine the real address from the anonymized address, and the only way to send an e-mail to the sender is to reply to the e-mail through the SafetyAnswer system.

Furthermore, since only the recipient of the e-mail can send the e-mail to the anonymized address, the e-mail cannot be sent to anyone else even if they try to steal the e-mail and send it without permission.

Anonymization of e-mail addresses protects personal information.

Main features of SafetyAnswer

(1) Anonymized sender's address is used to receive e-mail.

2. when sending to an anonymous email address, the email is correctly delivered to the sender of the email

3. the anonymous email address is only for the recipient who receives the email, and the email will not be sent even if it is leaked to others.

Effectiveness and application fields of SafetyAnswer

(1) Ideal for "Harassment Consultation Counters" since the sender's address can be anonymized and replies can be made to the sender's e-mail

Ideal for harassment consultation counter. 2.

(2) If it is used as a contact point for receiving e-mail from customers, it will prevent customer e-mail addresses from accumulating in the organization.

Since you do not have a real e-mail address, there will be no accidental leakage of e-mail address information.

If we did not have e-mail addresses, accidents would not have occurred. 3.

3. since the addresses of those who receive e-mails are also kept confidential, it prevents attacks from outside

Anyone who has access to e-mail can use it without the use of special software.

Anonymization of e-mail addresses is achieved by sending and receiving e-mail through a special e-mail address called a "public address. There are two ways to use a "public address," one is to pay for it from SafetyAnswer and the other is to prepare your own address. There is no difference in the function of anonymizing the sender's e-mail address in either case.

■Offering new optional services

The correspondence table between the anonymized address and the original address exists only in the SafetyAnswer system.

If an anonymized address is deleted from SafetyAnswer, the means of contacting the sender of the e-mail will be completely lost. This is the case, for example, when the storage period set for an anonymized address expires or when the user deletes the address by his/her own hand. (It is possible to store anonymized addresses indefinitely.)

In normal e-mail operations, e-mail addresses can be backed up and restored so that they are not lost, but SafetyAnswer's anonymized addresses cannot be saved.

Therefore, as a new optional service, we will start a paid service to save the correspondence list of anonymized addresses managed by SafetyAnswer and the original addresses on a storage medium such as DVD and deliver it directly to the user.
