Break free from Gmail

You should be able to choose what happens to your data. With Proton, only you can read your emails.

Your favorite features, plus privacy

Big Tech, such as Gmail, makes money by scanning your emails and collecting your data so it can target you with ads. Proton Mail believes your emails belong to you. We do not track your data or show ads. And we provide all the features you need to quickly manage your workflow and organize your inbox.

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
