Born Private
From the moment your child is born, their personal data is vulnerable. Reserving their first email address helps protect what’s theirs.
Email is the key to nearly everything they do online — school apps, games, and messaging platforms. Starting with a private email gives them a safer foundation everywhere they’ll use it.
Most inboxes are built to watch you

Your choice. Their future.
One day they’ll decide who they want to be online. The apps they use, the communities they join, the ideas they share.
Starting with a private email means they inherit a clean digital slate, not a profile that's tracked before they even knew what privacy is. It gives them the freedom to define themselves, on their own terms.
From the moment they’re born, your child’s personal data is vulnerable.
Most children’s first email experiences begin inside Big Tech platforms built to profit from their data. Proton Mail offers a better option.
A reserved first email address that stays locked until it's the right time for your child to claim it. No tracking, no ads, no data collection. A private beginning, thanks to you.
A private inbox, reserved
Choose their future email address today, and their inbox will stay locked and unused until they open it.
Reserved for up to 15 years
Most unused email accounts disappear after a year. Proton Mail keeps your child’s email address available for up to 15 years before they log in.
Zero-access encryption
Only you and your child can access their inbox. Messages aren’t scanned by us, algorithms, or AI.
No ads, no tracking
Their inbox is never used to build advertising profiles or serve targeted marketing.
Protected by advanced spam filters
When your child’s ready to use it, Proton Mail helps block harmful or unwanted messages before they reach them.
A symbolic donation
We ask for a donation as little as $1 to support the Proton Foundation’s mission of protecting digital safety. Thank you for helping keep the internet private.
You prepare them for the real world. Now prepare them for the digital one.
You pack their lunch, double-knot their shoes, and remind them to look both ways. Reserving their first private inbox is another small way to set them up for a safer future — long before they ever log in.
Give them a private inbox to grow into
A simple step today. A safer start tomorrow.
