Proton mail and privacy services

Proton is a Swiss-based technology company specializing in end-to-end encrypted privacy services, including email, calendar, cloud storage, and VPN. Founded in 2014 by scientists who met at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), the brand has become a global leader in focused data protection and digital rights. Unlike many tech giants that rely on advertising revenue through data mining, Proton operates on a subscription-based model to ensure user privacy.

The company is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, benefiting from the country's strict privacy laws. All data centers are located in Switzerland and Germany, ensuring that user data is protected by some of the world's most robust legal frameworks. Proton's development remains transparent through open-source code and independent security audits, maintaining its reputation as a trusted alternative to traditional big-tech service providers.
