How to escape the corporate eye? Protection through relays
Have you ever talked to a friend about a product, only to see an ad for it on Facebook later? Or liked a TikTok video about a specific brand, and received a promotional offer from a competitor an hour later? This is no coincidence – it's the result of advanced tracking that email relays can effectively stop.
How do corporations connect the dots?
Modern corporations use your email address as a central identifier that ties all your online activities together. Here's how it works:
Scenario without relays:
- You register at a store using the address
your.mail@gmail.com - You log into TikTok with the same email
- You like a video about healthy eating
- The algorithm connects this information and sells your profile to advertisers
- You receive personalized ads for dietary supplements
Scenario with relays:
- For the store, you use a relay:
shopping.health@my-relay.app - On TikTok, you have an account with a relay:
entertainment.social@my-relay.app - Corporations cannot link these two identities
- You maintain your anonymity online
Practical examples of escaping corporate tracking
Online shopping without consequences
When you use a unique relay for each store, advertising networks cannot:
- Track your shopping preferences across different platforms
- Create a detailed consumer profile
- Target you with aggressive ads on other websites
Social media without surveillance
By creating social media accounts using different relays, you prevent:
- Your activity from being linked across platforms
- The creation of a psychographic profile of your personality
- Your behavioral data from being sold to brokers
Mobile apps without tracking
Many apps request access to your email inbox. With relays:
- The app receives a unique address that isn't connected to your real identity
- You cannot be tracked across different apps
- You maintain control over your data
How do corporations use the collected data?
When all your activities are linked by one email address, corporations can:
Create detailed profiles
- Age, gender, location
- Shopping preferences
- Social media behavior
- Browsing habits
Sell your data
- Data brokers pay for detailed user profiles
- The more information, the higher the price
- Your data circulates among hundreds of companies
Manipulate your choices
- Show you ads in moments of weakness
- Influence your purchasing decisions
- Create artificial needs
How to implement a protection strategy?
Step 1: Segment your online life
Divide your online activities into categories and assign a unique relay to each:
shopping.clothes@my-relay.app– for a clothing storesocial.media@my-relay.app– for a social media platformentertainment.stream@my-relay.app– for a streaming service
Step 2: Gradual migration
Start with your most important accounts and gradually replace your main email address with relays in subsequent services.
Step 3: Regular reviews
Every quarter, check which relays are active and whether you need additional aliases for new categories.
