US Patent 10469425 Secure message service for preventing dissemination of sensitive information to third-parties

A message relay service receives, from an electronic message service, an electronic message that includes obscured data that cannot be de-obscured by a third-party mass delivery service and an electronic address for the electronic message service. The message relay service de-obscures the obscured data to obtain plaintext data for inclusion in the electronic message. The message relay service replaces the electronic address for the electronic message service with an electronic address for a specified recipient and causes the electronic message including the plaintext data to be transmitted to the specified recipient.
