I'm sure many of you have Proton email accounts exclusively for password recovery here on Poal. Proton just sent me an email on my active account that they have a new policy to delete inactive accounts, so log in once in a while to avoid this [see content]

New inactive accounts policy Dear Proton community member,

We are announcing our new policy regarding the storage of data, that will be implemented on April 9, 2025. Under this policy, we reserve the right to delete all data associated with Proton Accounts on our Free plan that remain inactive for one year (12 consecutive months).

If you’re reading this email, your account is considered active. This is just to inform you of the policy change.

As you had a Proton Account on a Free plan before this policy change took place, we’re giving you an additional one-year grace period before it takes effect. That means if your account becomes inactive, you have until April 9, 2026, or two years from now, to log in to your account to prevent data deletion.

To be considered active, you must simply log in to any Proton service on our web, desktop, or mobile apps.

Read our terms and conditions for more details.

This new policy will allow us to focus our resources on active members of the Proton community and help us reduce our carbon footprint.

If your account becomes inactive, we’ll send reminders to activate your account to your recovery email 30, 15, and 7 days before any data is deleted
