      Wait the article you link just says that they will provide an email and receipt if requested, because no other info is kept. That seems fine to me? That info they could get from someone's bank anyway, and using a fake email/unassociated email is always an option to make Nord a fine option.

      If I'm mistaken here let me know, I do actually use it so would prefer to know if there's something I'm missing here

        Enthusiastically complying to law enforcement demands after initially claiming they wouldn't give anything to them is a bad look. They went back on their word

        That's not trustworthy imo, who knows what else they might lie about

          I guess I wasn't aware of that claim in general, just a claim that they wouldn't give them any logs/info about what you use it for. If true, then sure it's shitty, but I don't think there are any legal VPN's that won't agree to harmless searches to avoid harassing/litigation for withholding info which is utterly meaningless. I guess I also don't do near enough illegal stuff to worry, honestly, which may be why I see it that way. I watch like a movie a month or something
