What the headline terms mean in practice
The published numbers are only useful when you understand the conversion event, attribution, application friction and promotion constraints behind them.
The economics can continue beyond the first conversion, but recurring value depends on the published duration, qualifying renewals, cancellations and reversal rules.
30 days is a relatively compact attribution window, so the strongest fit is usually content that reaches readers closer to a decision.
Moderate — partner application and compliance review apply.. Treat eligibility as a separate question from whether the commercial terms look attractive.
Content creators, publishers and other approved partners can promote Proton products using approved links and materials. Paid search is permitted only within current partner rules; Proton brand/trademark bidding and direct brand-capture tactics are restricted, so ads should lead through compliant publisher content rather than impersonating Proton.
