Why switch from ProtonMail to Typewire?

Your data stays in Canada

ProtonMail is Swiss-based, with data hosted in Europe. Typewire keeps your emails and attachments on privately owned servers in Vancouver, BC. Protected by PIPEDA and local laws, your data stays here.

Encryption you control

Like ProtonMail, Typewire uses strong encryption to protect your messages in transit and at rest. But with Typewire, your encryption keys stay on Canadian soil. There’s no foreign jurisdiction creeping in.

No ads or no surveillance

Proton promises privacy, and so do we. But we go a step further. With Typewire, you’re safe from tracking, ad monitization, or any data mining. Your inbox stays yours alone.

Migrate your account easily

Migrating from ProtonMail is simple. Bring your email, contacts, or custom domain over with our step-by-step guide that’s easy to follow. Our Canadian-based support team is here to help you.

Built for Canadians who care about privacy

Whether you’re a freelancer, a small business, or a privacy-focused professional, Typewire puts you back in control of your email, hosted entirely in Canada.
