Why You Should DeGoogle

Google's business model is built on collecting and monetizing your personal data. Here's what they know about you.

Your Private Conversations

Gmail scans your emails for advertising keywords. Your most personal messages are analyzed by machines.

Your Location History

Google Maps tracks everywhere you go, building a complete picture of your daily movements and habits.

Your Search History

Every search reveals your interests, fears, health concerns, and political views—all stored indefinitely.

Your Private Files

Documents on Google Drive can be scanned and accessed. Your sensitive files aren't truly private.

Your Schedule

Google Calendar knows about your doctor visits, therapy sessions, job interviews, and personal meetings.

Your Financial Data

Gmail receipts, Google Pay transactions, and purchase tracking paint a picture of your financial life.

Quick Start: Replace Google Services

For every Google service you use, there's a privacy-respecting Proton alternative.

Why Proton?

Founded by scientists at CERN, Proton is on a mission to build an internet where privacy is the default.

Swiss Privacy Protection

Proton is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, operating under some of the world's strongest privacy laws. Your data is protected by Swiss neutrality and cannot be accessed by US authorities or surveillance alliances like Five Eyes.

End-to-End Encryption

All Proton services use end-to-end encryption, meaning your data is encrypted before it leaves your device. Even Proton employees cannot read your emails, files, or passwords.

Open Source & Audited

Every Proton app is open source and has been independently audited by security experts. You don't have to trust Proton's word—you can verify the security yourself.

Free Tiers Available

Proton believes privacy is a human right, not a luxury. All services offer generous free tiers so everyone can access basic privacy protection regardless of their budget.
