We would like to provide the following clarifications: This is obviously not done by default, but only if Proton gets a legal order for a specific account.
There was no possibility to appeal this particular request.Īs detailed in our transparency report, our published threat model, and also our privacy policy, under Swiss law, Proton can be forced to collect information on accounts belonging to users under Swiss criminal investigation. In this case, Proton received a legally binding order from Swiss authorities which we are obligated to comply with. In the interest of transparency, we would like to provide additional context.
We are also deeply concerned about this case and deplore that the legal tools for serious crimes are being used in this way. We would like to provide important clarifications regarding the case of the climate activist who was recently arrested by French police on criminal charges.
