With all the leaks, hacks and generally terrifying security stuff you read about on a regular basis, you should have some level of concern about what’s happening to your data—particularly when it comes to e-mail. The sad truth is, if you’re not paying dollars for your email access, you’re paying with your data. With the Helm Personal Server, you can take back control from the marketers, prying eyes and potential data breaches and bring it all home. Founded by two software engineers concerned with personal privacy, the Helm server is a private email server that still works with your favorite phone and computer apps but puts your data in your control. The privacy and security implications are obviously the most important aspects of the Helm Personal Server, but it doesn’t hurt that the unique geometric design makes this one server you can proudly display in the living room.
