Proton Mail removes sentence restricting referrals to private recommendations

The old terms said referrals should be private direct recommendations, and that referrals posted on public platforms or websites earn no reward and could make a user ineligible for future referral benefits. That sentence has been removed, with nothing added in its place.

Won back

  • No stated ban on rewards for referrals shared on public platforms or websites
  • No stated risk of losing future referral benefits for public referrals
