Privacy and Encryption

I use Protonmail for email communication, because their emphasis is on security and confidentiality. When two Protonmail users exchange emails, the email is automatically encrypted end-to-end, and highly secure.
Unfortunately, if I am exchanging emails with a non-Proton user, the email is not encrypted, and potentially subject to interception. As a workaround for very sensitive information, I can password protect attachments, or provide access to a secure folder on the cloud.
I've been wanting to implement routine encryption for my emails for a while, and I finally sat down and did it. From now on, if you want to send me email that is encrypted, even if you aren't a Proton user, you can use PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) to encrypt your email. To do so, your email client needs to be able to implement PGP, and you need my public PGP key to encrypt the message. I will then be able to decrypt your message using my private PGP key.
