# About Postman accounts

With a free Postman account, you can access your work from different machines and [collaborate](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/collaborate-in-postman-overview/) with others on your API projects.

Learn how to [manage your account](/docs/getting-started/account/manage/). To learn more about account settings, see [Manage your Postman account settings](/docs/getting-started/account/settings/).

Postman uses several technologies to ensure that your personal data is secure:

* Communication with Postman servers only happens through HTTPS and Secure WebSockets.
* Environment and global variables are encrypted so that only you can view them.

For more details on Postman's security policies and standards, see the Postman [EULA](https://www.postman.com/legal/eula/), [security overview](https://www.postman.com/security/), and [privacy policy](https://www.postman.com/licenses/privacy/).
