  Please show any Wayback Machine link for that quote on Proton’s site. I can find ‘your privacy comes first’. I didn’t find ‘up to the extent of Swiss law’ yet.

    Just scroll down. Each selling point is marked with title case text, followed by their reasoning.

    Under the first one that mentions privacy ( Highest standards of privacy) it says:

    Proton is incorporated and headquartered in Switzerland, meaning your data is protected by some of the world’s strictest privacy laws.

    The entirety of their reasoning behind their claim of “Highest standards of privacy” is the basis of Swiss Law and literally nothing else.

      I don’t find your earlier quote on that page anywhere.

      Can you find me a way back machine link to their website where they told you that they aren’t subject to or otherwise do not comply with Swiss law?

      Why would I do that? My claim is not that they ever said that explicitly, but that their marketing claimed ‘your privacy came first’ without any similar-size mention how it would be limited by Swiss law. It was not in their interest to explain that the Swiss courts can order them to track and shop French climate activists.

        Their marketing around privacy as it exists right now is extremely up front and detailed about the fact that it’s based on Swiss law. If you’re going to claim that at some point in time it didn’t, you’re going to have to show some kind of proof of that.
