Proton, a tech company offering VPN and secure email services, has announced the launch of Proton Calendar, an all-new encrypted calendar app for Android, which the company has been beta testing since 2020.
The new service provides users with a means for protecting their private calendar data. And while your calendar may not be the first thing you think of when considering upping your internet security, they are actually major sources of substantial personal data, including information regarding where and who you meet with.
Thankfully, the new app can completely encrypt all calendar data, including locations, event names, participants, notes, shared files, and other descriptions. As a result, users can feel safe knowing that their personal schedules are completely secure from potential hackers.
