    Meanwhile on Proton’a homepage:

    We are a neutral and safe haven for your personal data, committed to defending your freedom.

    Our technology and business are based upon this fundamentally stronger definition of privacy, backed also by Swiss privacy laws.

    Proton is based in Switzerland, and your data does not go to the cloud. Instead, it stays under the protection of some of the world’s strongest privacy laws.
