The homepage has always been misleading, since their TOS does mention that they can keep your IP address, for law-related purposes or spam prevention. Additionally, once they receive a request from Swiss police, they _have_ to comply and log those addresses. You can fight tooth and nail and pretend that your entire service is built to never see any IP, but in the end, you will still be made to log it.
Welcome to reality.
- nickthemagicman 5y agoThey can force you to implement functionality if it doesn't exist? Like logging?
- ohgodplsno 5y agoYour service is connected to the internet, isn't it ? An IP is a fundamental component of it. It's impossible for you to say that you cannot have the IP. Even if it involves you going to your edge server and reading everything with Wireshark to find out the IP, you will still have to comply. EDIT: To add to this, this is why ProtonMail recommends using a TOR node to protect your address.
- nickthemagicman 5y agoI know the technical aspects I was just curious what they were allowed to do legally. Are they legally allowed to force someone to implement nonexistent functionality?
