What makes encrypted email better?
Because what's in your email is your business
Services like Gmail and Microsoft Outlook have the technical ability to scan your inbox, which means you may be paying for free email with your privacy. Your messages can be exposed to targeted ads, AI training, or third-party data sharing, depending on company policies and settings.
Instead of monetizing your inbox, Proton Mail is funded entirely by paying subscribers. We protect your inbox with zero-access encryption and never have access to your data, on any plan. Proton Mail is free, and always will be. We’re able to keep it that way thanks to subscribers who choose to upgrade and 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.
