Mullvad stores account (kyc) + payment information in line with Swedish tax laws for (I think) 7 years.
What Mullvad apparently don't have are data-plane logs. But then, surveillance laws mandate forceful & secret compliance in certain cases (Mullvad may be exempt but who knows: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43018290)
Doesn't Mullvad accept cash without identifying information?
Proton isn’t giving up VPN users. It’s giving up mail users. There’s a huge legal difference.
Correction:they do in fact have to respond to court orders, but they can't give any info as they simply do not have it.
