Yes and No!

Many Internet Fax Providers use SSL and PGP encryption. A lot of email service providers are compliant with such privacy regulations as Gramm-Leach-Bliley & HIPAA in the United States and PIPEDA in Canada.

However, Internet fax uses email to transmit your faxes. While encryption does insure safe transmission, many fax services store your faxes on their systems for a period of time. Your faxes will be as safe or as private as your Provider's security measures.
