No company will go to jail for your privacy.

The only "privacy" you have to hoping the laws of the jurisdiction where its operated in is privacy-friendly, if the courts there decide to issue a warrant, you're fucked.

The takeaway: Use cash payments and use a VPN when accessing Protonmail.

(ProtonVPN and ProtonMail are governed by different laws. Swiss courts can demand logging of a MAIL provider but not a VPN provider... so you have to use ProtonVPN (or another no-log VPN to access ProtonMAIL...)

    I agree but I do think they could be more forward in disclosure. Like "hey in the case of a federal subpoena, your account address, backup email, and payment information could be disclosed to authorities".
