These tools empower individuals and organizations to take control of their personal data, break away from Big Tech's invasive practices, and defeat censorship.
Our work impacts hundreds of millions of lives, from activists on the front lines defending freedom to leaders in governments protecting sensitive information.
In some cases, Proton's services have even been instrumental in saving lives by enabling secure and private communications in high-risk situations.
