Please let me know what you think of the following.
Topic: #VPN
I contacted Express VPN to ask them about who runs the company, who is behind it.
What I believe to be a perfectly reasonable question.
This is the full transcript of our conversation.
Me:
I can't find any information people's names
about who is behind expressvpn
I would hope you can understand it is important to know who you are
entrusting with your data
Expressvpn said: We don't necessarily have a list of people's names on the
website. Our business is about privacy and security. We never keep traffic logs,
and we also don’t keep any logs that might enable someone to match an IP and
time-stamp back to a user. We work entirely on the basis of shared IPs,
meaning that a single IP does not track back to an individual user. For the
purpose of improving network resource allocation, we record aggregate data-
transfer amounts and choice of server location, neither of which are data points
that can identify a specific user as part of an investigation.
I said: Are you able to tell me who the CEO is?
Expressvpn said:
No, sorry.
I said:
Even the tor project shows that kind of transparency.
Expressvpn said:
I see.
End of conversation.
