From the article:

Proton has announced joining forces with SimpleLogin to provide more privacy online.

Proton, launched in 2014, is a privacy-focused technology provider well known for its encrypted email service ProtonMail. In its efforts to improve the privacy of its users, Proton has joined hands with SimpleLogin, a service that provides users with randomly-generated anonymous email addresses so users can easily create a unique email address for every service they sign up for. Doing this provides more security through obscurity and helps retain some privacy in the case of online data breaches.

.

SimpleLogin is available as a mobile app, web app, and browser extension. Every time users register for a new online service, it will provide them with an anonymous email address, meaning they do not have to use your real email address. They can easily disable an anonymous email if the service they signed up for gets hacked, sells their address to advertisers, or when they begin getting spam messages.

Yen said that the two companies share values and philosophy, especially on matters of privacy. He also believes the proximity of the two companies, one being in Switzerland and the other one in France is an advantage.
