    Proton doesn’t get a free ride here.

    They are bound Swiss law and should not be retaining any identifying information.

    If they are going to give up everything they have on you when the feds come knocking, they shouldn’t keep anything or they shouldn’t market themselves as private and secure .

      Upon receiving the recovery email from Proton Mail, Spanish authorities further requested Apple to provide additional details linked to that email, leading to the identification of the individual.

      The user specifically requested that Proton retain this PII for account recovery.

      Speaking of which, how do they implement recovery emails? Do they save your private keys only if account recovery is enabled?
