If you are really concerned over privacy and security of
your personal data, you may find the encryption methods of all the most popular
email providers as insufficient. Looking for secure email with absolutely no
compromises, brought to you by MIT and CERN scientists? You found it!
Why ProtonMail?
* ProtonMail is incorporated in Switzerland and our
servers are located in Switzerland. The service is outside of US and EU
jurisdiction and user data is protected by strict Swiss data protection laws.
* Because of the end-to-end encryption, your data is
already encrypted by the time it reaches the ProtonMail servers. Service
provider cannot decrypt your encrypted messages and as result, they cannot
share them with third parties. Messages are stored on ProtonMail servers in
encrypted format. They are also transmitted in encrypted format between our
server and users’ browsers. Messages between ProtonMail users are transmitted
in encrypted form within our protected server network. Because data is
encrypted at all steps, the risk of message interception is largely eliminated.
* ProtonMail works out of any modern web browser, there
is nothing to install. The service definitely is also backwards compatible with
other email providers so you can continue sending and receiving emails from
friends who are not using ProtonMail.
* ProtonMail developers believe privacy is a fundamental
human right and should be available for everyone. That's why they offer
multi-tiered pricing including a free version that anyone can use.
* ProtonMail services do not keep permanent logs or
require any personal information to sign up. They do not save any metadata such
as the IPs used to connect to accounts, and also accept anonymous payment
methods (such as Bitcoin) so even paid users have their privacy rights
protected.
* Web-based service ProtonMail works on all devices,
including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. It's as simple as
visiting our site and logging in. There are no plugins or apps to install -
simply use your favorite web browser.
* You can set an optional expiration time on ProtonMail’s
encrypted emails, so they will be automatically deleted from the recipient's
inbox once they have expired. This works for both emails sent to other
ProtonMail users, and encrypted emails sent to outside email addresses.
* ProtonMail was developed with a strong emphasis on
usability. As a result, ProtonMail is extremely easy to use and does not
require any learning curves for any level of the end-user computer literacy.
Service is in open beta, so you need to sign in and
request invite. Supply your other working email address so you will get the
email notification promptly as soon as you will be invited.
