That's not true. I'm talking about consumer rights. In fact, last I checked (about 1 or 2 months ago), Data Portability Right doesn't even exist in Swiss laws, but it does exist in GDPR and the California Privacy Act.
Protonmail is all built around the Swiss bank image of "your data is as secure than your money". Protonmail doesn't even offer IMAP for free.
If you agree with their methods, no one will stop you to use their services. But again : they do NOT comply with basic consumer rights common to other providers, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone I know
- dgellow 6y agoLet's check. I just sent their support an email to ask for all personal data they have on me (I'm living in the EU, and have Swiss citizenship). I will update in this thread once I have an answer, and if I don't have one then that will be a good reason to write a blog article... Regarding the IMAP support, I don't see how it's an issue that they provide it to their paid tier. ProtonMail is a paid service, with an option to have limited free accounts.
