What makes encrypted email better?

Because what’s in your email is your business

Most popular email providers, such as Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo, scan the content of your emails and use your email address to create a detailed profile on you and profit from your data.

Proton Mail’s end-to-end encryption and zero-access encryption ensure only you can see your emails. Not even Proton can view the content of your emails and attachments.

Proton Mail

No more email trackers in your mailbox

Email trackers tell senders and advertisers what you read and click on, and can follow you around the web.

Proton Mail protects you from these digital spies and prevents companies from monitoring you.

  1. Ad free, always free. Proton Mail is a free and secure email service that’s powered by our community, not surveillance capitalism. Our free plan is supported by paid subscriptions that offer extra features and storage.
  2. Highest standards of privacy. Proton is incorporated and headquartered in Switzerland, meaning your data is protected by some of the world’s strictest privacy laws.
  3. Switch to Proton Mail in one click. With Easy Switch, you can quickly migrate from any email provider to Proton Mail. Import your emails, labels, contacts, and calendars to Proton Mail and set up automatic forwarding to receive future emails in your new encrypted inbox.
  4. Open source and independently audited. All Proton services are open source and independently audited for security. We also maintain open-source encryption libraries used by millions of people around the world.
