Earlier this year, we shared how Proton’s services will evolve to better serve you. This evolution is vital as it will allow us to address several demands that the Proton community has raised, both in the 2022 survey and earlier.  Ensuring that Proton’s services complement each other is necessary for delivering on the Proton community’s …

This year, Proton turns eight years old. While eight years might not seem like a long time, it’s an entire era from the perspective of internet development. Proton was founded in 2014, just a few years after Facebook (now Meta) founder Mark Zuckerberg stated that “privacy is no longer a social norm”. The fact Proton …

A few weeks ago, we shared the results of the Proton 2022 community survey. While the quantitative results shared previously were interesting, a deeper look into the qualitative comments left by the community also provides insights into how Proton should evolve in 2022. After reviewing the survey results and considering your ongoing feedback, here are …

At Proton, we are fighting for a better internet where privacy is the default. This is a challenging and important mission that requires a collective effort.

Last updated: 29 April 2022 — We’re extending the deadline to activate a free @proton.me address until 8 June. When we founded ProtonMail in 2014, we realized one of the best ways to help everyone protect their privacy was to make sending encrypted email as convenient as possible. This includes providing you with an email …

Earlier this month, we sent out our 2022 annual survey to the Proton community. We want to thank everybody who participated in the survey. There were a record number of participants — so many that we temporarily hit our survey software’s limits. The annual surveys are important because Proton, from its very beginning as a …

The clock may be ticking on Google, Apple, and other tech giants’ ability to impose their email apps on users as default settings. If EU regulators are serious about fair competition in digital markets, letting people choose their own email app should be the new default setting. The EU’s landmark Digital Markets Act will reach …

The year is coming to a close, and we are approaching the time when we would traditionally hold a fundraiser to support organizations working to protect privacy and freedom of speech. However, this year we decided to be more ambitious. In addition to raising funds through our Lifetime Charity Fundraiser, we want to go further …

At Proton, we have experienced incredible growth over the past seven years. Over 50 million people have signed up for Proton services to keep their personal information private.

ProtonMail was founded in 2014 to build a better internet where privacy is the default, and to protect activists, journalists, and ordinary people from online surveillance.
