The main objective of Proton apps is to safeguard user privacy. In the case of Proton Calendar, the locations, titles, participants and descriptions of everything that is entered in the app are encrypted. It is promised that the information remains encrypted when stored on their servers.

Proton Mail allows synchronization with our calendar events from other compatible apps, but requires a ProtonMail account attached to a subscription. That is to say, the beta is only available to those users who already paid for the mail or the ProtonVPN service.
