You get what you pay for. In the case of big tech, if you pay nothing, you get used. I quit using Gmail and switched to @ProtonMail

Thanks Proton for keeping us all safe in the complicated internet universe.

Your favorite features, plus privacy

Keep your conversations private

Thanks to Proton Mail’s end-to-end encryption and zero-access encryption, no one but you can read the messages in your inbox. It’s not just that we won’t spy on your emails — we can’t.

Proton Mail automatically blocks all spy trackers found in promotional emails, preventing senders from spying on your mail activity.

Quickly unsubscribe from newsletters

Keep your encrypted inbox clutter-free and remove yourself from mailing lists with one click.

Organize your schedule privately

Create events, send invitations, and set reminders while keeping all details of your calendar private.

No ads. Ever.

We’ll never show privacy-invading ads. The only way we make money is through our paid plans.
