Has Mullvad ever been given a court order to reveal personal info about a user?

I’ve been reading through Signal’s government requests and couldn’t find a similar section on Mullvad’s website. I’d be curious to read about them if there are any. It would seem unlikely to me that Mullvad has never received any kind of court order for information about a user.

What could they even give? They don’t even ask for an email, and they claim to run everything you browse as RAM that never gets held or recorded.

Yes if you get a court order for data you don’t hold, you don’t have to provide data you don’t have access to. I wasn’t expecting that Mullvad would have any useful data to give, I just wanted to read their response/commentary is all

Yup, Swedish police issued a search warrant and raided Mullvads offices last year. They left empty handed as Mullvad does not retain ANY customer data.

They even stopped allowing customers to pay with credit card recurring payments because they didn’t want to store customer payment info that could harm their users.

I currently pay Mullvad with a recurring charge on my credit card.
