It is safe; your data is still encrypted. They only provide account metadata.
You’re confusing privacy with anonymity.
Edit: and furthermore, Proton does have the ability for you to set up your account anonymously. You can use a burner recovery email and pay with Bitcoin.
Funnily enough, the answer is no longer available.
I wasn’t arguing against encryption. Rather, I was arguing against its occurrence. Although I don’t trust Proton 100% not to have a key.
So, BTC is not anonymous, and buying it is linked to data. BTC is also nice in the blockchain. I always preferred Paysafe card, but you can’t get that anonymously anymore either.
But now I’m particularly concerned that their response has disappeared.
But it was sometime around June 21, 2019, when it came out (I think because a US citizen was arrested.) that they were working with states. To date, they have not published this themselves.
Incidentally, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t use Proton. It’s still one of the best on the market, but you shouldn’t blindly trust them.
At that time (begin of proton ), Switzerland was also still a haven for tax evaders, etc. Back then, they worked secretly with the government… There was no obligation yet.

ProtonMail removed “we do not keep any IP logs” from its privacy policy 2021 (at this time cause a french activist) 😊
