Encrypted email, calendar, drive and VPN built in Geneva by ex-CERN scientists.
European Alternative to:
Comprehensive privacy suite designed for individuals and businesses who refuse to trade convenience for surveillance. Built in Geneva by ex-CERN scientists, Proton's encrypted ecosystem covers email, calendar, drive and VPN, all under Swiss privacy law.
Key capabilities include:
- End-to-end encrypted email with zero-access architecture, so not even Proton can read your messages
- Encrypted calendar that syncs across devices without exposing event details to servers
- Proton Drive for encrypted file storage and sharing
- Proton VPN with a strict no-logs policy, audited annually by independent firms
- Proton Pass password manager with cross-platform sync
Built for European compliance
GDPR-compliant by design with data residency exclusively in Switzerland and the EU. Proton holds itself to Swiss privacy law, among the strongest globally, and publishes transparency reports detailing every data request received.
Open-source clients for every platform mean the cryptography is auditable. Independent security teams review the codebase, and the company runs an active bug bounty program.
Trusted by journalists, activists and enterprises
Used by newsrooms, NGOs and organisations that handle sensitive material. Proton's enterprise tier adds custom domains, advanced policy controls and dedicated support, without compromising the underlying privacy guarantees.
Migration without lock-in
Easy import from Gmail, Outlook and other providers. Standard IMAP/SMTP support means you keep control of your data and can leave at any time, exporting everything in open formats.
