Which VPN Services Take Your Anonymity Seriously?

They asked the VPN services these questions:
1. Do you keep ANY logs which would allow you to match an IP-address and
a time stamp to a user of your service? If so, exactly what information
do you hold and for how long?


Am I losing my mind or does this quote not make sense?

"2. We operate out of the US which is one of the few, if only, countries
without a mandatory data retention law. We explored several other
jurisdictions with the help of our professional legal team, and the US
is still ideal for privacy-based VPN services."


Well, "few, if only" is redundant and lacks grace.

So it is more likely that trolls will not select IPs that belong to
VPNs or other "difficult to get" companies since the legal proceedings
would be double, having to get court orders to have the VPN company
hand over the equivalent IP and then court order to have the ISP link
that IP t a customer.

Sounds credible and I sure hope you are right...


Even better if the VPN is out of the country, I would think.
