# Proton rolled out Proton Sheets - a spreadsheet Google can’t peek into.

## Summary

Proton launched Proton Sheets, an end-to-end encrypted spreadsheet application with zero-knowledge architecture. The service encrypts all data including file names, preventing third parties (including Proton itself) from accessing user content. This privacy-focused alternative to Google Sheets aims to protect user data from Big Tech surveillance and AI training data collection.

## Content

Gemini: “Show me your data?”
You: “No.”
Sheets: also no, but in Swiss.🇨🇭🔐

End-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge, even file names get the Swiss-bank treatment.

You open a spreadsheet - Big Tech immediately cries. Somewhere in California, an AI whispers: “But… my training data…”

Privacy 1 : 0 AI

> Good that there's an alternative. I think the overuse of google sheets for everything is dumb, but at least people can use something besides google for that now.
