This comment will probably get buried. But I’m a paying ProtonMail customer and I noticed a number of things that seem to indicate the company is doing things to enable user surveillance without it being directly attributed to the company.
1) Malware scanning services. I noticed that links in my email are sent to a third party to be scanned for malicious content. I never signed up for this service.
2) Mobile phone analytics. Using a third party for mobile analytics known to track users.
3) CDN: using a content delivery network in countries that do not have the same privacy requirements as ProtonMail’s corporate domicile.
Privacy is a gimmick for the company at the very least, a front at the worst. I still use them because I trust other companies even less.
