That being said I agree that any data being collected has the potential to be shared if the legal hurdle is overcome.Įdit #2 - as pointed out by /u/razorfold/ - details are what data the app developers tell Apple the app collects - NOT what it really collects. Usually VPNs are used for achieving private internet. Anyone looking to acquire the data for legal purposes would have much easier access for those VPNs hosted in countries with loose (no?) privacy laws vs those hosted in countries with tighter privacy and higher legal hurdles. Even they dont market themselves as anonymous VPN provider. The chart also does not take into account the privacy laws of the host country regarding the data that is collected. IMO I would say ProtonVPN falls in the upper middle middle, certainly not among the worst.

ProtonVPN collects an average amount of data points among those listedĤ of the 7 list VPNS use at least one data point to track you (not ProtonVPN) Additionally based on the Apple chart data, I observe So i would place it in the middle of those 3. However non of those fall under "Data used to track you". Of the 3 - ProtonVPN does collect 1 or 2 more data points. I'm listing here in order of most serious (revealing) to least. From my understanding the privacy is broken out in three types. For the remaining 3 VPNS (ProtonVPN, NordVPN, and Express) that are in the Apple chart comparison, perhaps I'm reading the chart wrong. How to you calculate this? For the 2 VPNS you list as "no data and no meta data" Their app pages actual say "developer, xxxx has not provided details " This is certainly not the same as what you have written. ProtonVPN is among the worst according to this comparison. This is certainly interesting, I had no idea.
