Data requests + +The French government may request informations about VPN connections and payments as required by the French law. +We will only comply to this kind of request if they are following the right legal procedure. +If we are allowed to do so, we will attempt to contact you before or after doing so. + +**No third party can request information without going through the proper legal channels.**
