What makes encrypted email better?
Because what's in your email is your business
Gmail and and Microsoft Outlook can technically scan your inbox: These "free" email services may cost your privacy, using your messages for targeted ads, AI training, or data sharing. Proton Mail is different — funded by subscribers, not your data. Zero-access encryption means we never see your inbox, on any plan. It's free, and always will be, thanks to subscribers who upgrade to support privacy-first email for everyone.
No more trackers in your inbox
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.
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.
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.
