You would be shocked to know what can happen to your emails. Proton provides the right technology to make sure your data stays secure and private.

Why does big tech collect my data?

Big Tech’s business model works by collecting extensive user data. They can see when you open a promotional email or show interest in certain products. This information is tracked by Big Tech to profile you and present you with intrusive advertising.

Does my email provider respect my freedom?

In short, probably not. Many email services might seem free, but they often come at the cost of your privacy. They can scan your emails and observe your interests, allowing advertisers to push targeted ads your way. In reality, these "free" services profit by trading your data.

Reclaim your freedom with Proton Mail

Proton Mail believes your emails belong only to you. We do not track your data or show you ads. Your emails are automatically end-to-end encrypted, so that no one, not even us, can read them. And all of this comes with all the easy-to-use and familiar features you need to quickly manage your workflow and organize your inbox.

Proton Mail has everything you need from a private email

If you want a genuinely private email service so you can take back control of your personal data, here are the main features to look out for:

Strong encryption everywhere

Proton Mail uses end-to-end and zero-access encryption, so only you and those you authorize have the key to access your emails.

No ads or tracking

Proton Mail collects no data and is only supported by subscribers who pay for access to premium features.

Open source and transparent

Proton Mail apps are both open source and independently audited. You can inspect the code yourself or read an expert’s assessment.

Effortless email migration

A top choice

"If you’d like to reclaim at least some of your privacy, consider switching to an encrypted email provider that puts your security first, like Proton Mail. Its wealth of added features combined with effective end-to-end email encryption makes Proton Mail an Editors' Choice winner for email encryption service."

PC Mag, 2023

"An alternative to the ad-based revenue model of free services like Gmail which actively scan your emails to deliver relevant ads."

“It’s hard not to be impressed with the lengths Proton’s gone to shore up security and privacy.”

"Proton Mail hosts its servers in Switzerland, so all user data is protected by Swiss privacy laws."

I love my ProtonMail

I'm a big fan of @ProtonMail! They kept the light on for small tech, independent mail service providers while nobody else seemed to give a damn.

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

@shauno1369

I moved to @ProtonMail 2 years ago and never looked back. The feeling of freedom you get when you know you are not being tracked is uplifting.

My Choice for a Gmail alternative? @ProtonMail - Been using a paid account for over 2 years and it's great. Good customer service also!
