Say, what? ProtonMail has email servers in Switzerland?
Yes, it's something the company touts loudly on its website. On its homepage, it says, "ProtonMail is incorporated in Switzerland and all our servers are located in Switzerland. This means all user data is protected by strict Swiss privacy laws."
ProtonMail purports to be so secure that no one but you can access your email. They even make it explicit that ProtonMail couldn't read your messages if it wanted to. The company says that since all of the data is stored outside the realm of "intrusive" U.S. laws, only encrypted messages could be handed over.
In its words:
Zero-access encryption means that even if a complaint is brought in a Swiss court that meet the high requirements for data disclosure, only encrypted emails could be handed over. As a Swiss company, ProtonMail cannot be forced to hand over data in cases of US or EU civil litigation. Thus, even if you don’t care about privacy, ProtonMail is still the ideal choice for businesses, journalists, activists, and individuals who are worried about the overreach of US government agencies or courts.
That's a bold claim. Is it true?
Prior evidence says otherwise. As pointed out by WIRED in 2015, a federal judge forced Lavabit — once a secure email company that claimed an encryption so great administrators couldn't read emails — to turn encryption keys over to the government in 2014. A similar outcome occurred all the way back in 2007, when Hushmail, which touted similar "not even we can see your emails" levels of security, turned 12 CDs worth of emails from three accounts over to the government. So while ProtonMail claims it has Pentagon-like security, that may not actually be the case.
Per that same WIRED report:
That’s because Switzerland has a mutual legal assistance treaty relationship with the United States. These treaties require foreign governments to hand over to a requesting government any information legally available to their local authorities. That means that Switzerland would have to give the US access to any data that it could itself access.
I just created over 50 accounts using all the popular names on eccie. ***Searching for the evil laugh emoji***Lol this crossed my mind.....to grab up all the well known names....but I thought nahhh..thats just wrong...made sure mine was available and that's all I cared about.
Just kidding, yes, I agree with Analeese.
