Our story begins
at CERN
Proton was founded in 2014 by a team of scientists who met at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Inspired by the vision of a more private and secure internet, we built the foundation for what would become the world's largest encrypted ecosystem.
From those early days in Geneva, we have grown into a global community of millions. Our mission remains unchanged: to build an internet where privacy is the default. By combining Swiss neutrality with end-to-end encryption, we ensure that your digital life belongs to you, and only you.
Your privacy is our mission. Proton provides easy-to-use encrypted email, calendar, file storage, and VPN services.
Swiss Privacy
Based in Switzerland, we build an internet where privacy is the default, protecting your data with end-to-end encryption.
