EMAIL SECURITY

Proton Mail offers secure encrypted email services to keep your communications safe.*

• • Use Proton's Easy Switch to move all of your existing email into your new Proton account, and set up mail forwarding so you don't miss any emails to your old email address.

  • A free Proton account will give you one secure email address and 1GB of storage. Apaid account paid account can give you access to more features (such as more storage) and their full suite of privacy-conscious tools—and will help keep this technology around for the future!

*Privacy Is A Team Sport! You are only as private as your friends' privacy practices, and they are only as private as yours. In order for communications to be truly end-to-end encrypted (that is, no one but the sender and intended recipient can see them), all parties must be using the same platform. Make the switch to private platforms like Proton yourself, and then talk to your friends about doing the same.

What's the difference between privacy and security? These words are often used interchangeably, but they mean slightly different things.

• Privacy is about your ability to have control over your own personal data, i.e. being aware of the data that is collected about you and being able to decide who can access it and how.

• Security is about protecting your data from unauthorized access.

For example, Gmail is a very secure system, in that it would be difficult for hackers to access your emails. But it is not private, because Google can see everything you send and may use that information for any number of purposes—from targeting you with ads to handing your personal data over to the federal government.
