Private Email improves email privacy by masking your personal email addresses so they're unrecognizable, and removes hidden trackers often found in sent emails that can be used to gather private, personally identifiable information, including location, device usage, interests, and shopping behaviors.

Maybe creating a YouTube video on how to use the system would be effective. The information provided is not useful.

So.... The article on Masked Email was helpful, but a little long and convoluted. For a person that just begins to use a feature like this, maybe the simplest explanation is needed.
By creating a private email "Mask" you are creating an email that you can use as a user ID for a site that normally uses the email as the ID. When the site or company responds to your online input, the Norton Private Email system will forward any response to your personal email account. Just be sure you do not reply using your real email.
There... That wasn't so hard.

as test: from my "real" email account (e.g., @yahoo.com)...using "mask" email address as To (e.g., any+address.123(@)norton.me)
