INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
In an effort to provide consumers with more privacy-focused alternatives to Google's products, ProtonMail has added a new encrypted
calendar to its email service.The company's new ProtonCalendar is currently in beta and all paid ProtonMail users will now be able to
access and use the new service that will be open to all users once it exits beta in 2020.ProtonMail also launched its own VPN service back
in 2017 called ProtonVPN as part of the company's ongoing mission to help users better protect their privacy online
In addition to ProtonCalendar, the company is also planning to launch its own cloud storage service and office software to provide consumers
with a privacy-focused alternative to Google Drive and Google Docs.CEO of ProtonMail, Andy Yen explained how the company is the polar
Like ProtonMail, ProtonCalendar is engineered to put user privacy first, and in that respect we are the polar opposite of Google
With the launch of ProtonCalendar beta, we move one step closer to providing a full suite of services [that] can replace Google for users
interface that allows users to view their calendar by month and day with color-coded event types.The company's new offering will be
familiar to users who have used Google or Microsoft's calendars before
However, ProtonMail had decided to put privacy at the heart of ProtonCalendar by encrypting event titles, descriptions, locations and
participants so that neither the company nor third parties can view the contents of user's calendar entries.Businesses or consumers that
are interested in encrypted email will likely also be interested in other privacy-focused products which is why ProtonMail's decision to
expand into calendars, VPNs, cloud storage and documents makes a great deal of sense.If you're a paid ProtonMail user, you can try out
ProtonCalendar for yourself now while free users will have to wait a bit longer to test out the company's new encrypted calendar
