As a valued member of the Proton community, you’ll occasionally get emails from us.
However, before you interact with an email claiming to be from us, it’s important to make sure it’s genuine.
This keeps you and your account safe from phishing attacks. Learn more about phishing
There are a few reasons we might email you
If you get an email from us, it’s usually about one of these topics:
- Product notifications (such as for upcoming Calendar events or a completed Easy Switch import)
- Newsletters to keep you updated about company news and new releases
- Email address verification
- Account recovery
- Offers and promotions
We will never email (or call(new window)) you randomly, asking for your account details or personal information.
To manage the emails we send you, sign in to account.protonvpn.com and go to Account → Email subscriptions.
