A better internet starts with privacy.
At Proton, we believe that privacy is a human right, the foundation of a free and open society.
That’s why we’re building an ecosystem of privacy-first, open-source tools that put people (not profits) first.
Created by scientists from CERN and MIT, governed by the Proton Foundation (a Swiss non-profit organization) and powered by a global community of supporters, Proton is independent, community-funded, and 100% subscription-based, not driven by ads or data mining.
Our privacy-by-design ecosystem includes:
✉️ Proton Mail: the world’s most private email service, free of ads and trackers
🌐 Proton VPN: a fast, secure VPN to browse freely and protect your identity online
🗓️ Proton Calendar: an encrypted calendar that keeps your schedule private
🗂️ Proton Drive: encrypted cloud storage with secure file sharing and Proton Docs for private document editing
🔑 Proton Pass: a secure password manager with a built in 2FA authenticator for logins, hide-my-email aliases, credit cards, notes, and encrypted files.
🔒 Proton Authenticator: a free, open-source 2FA app that keeps your accounts safe
🤖 Lumo: your privacy-respecting AI assistant, powered by Proton’s secure ecosystem
Trusted by over 100 million people worldwide, from journalists and activists to global NGOs, academics, and creatives, Proton is the trusted alternative to Big Tech.
