ExpressVPN has decided to move its servers from India because of a new law.
It said on its Website: The new data law initiated by India’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), intended to help fight cybercrime, is incompatible with the purpose of VPNs, which are designed to keep users’ online activity private.
The law is also overreaching and so broad as to open up the window for potential abuse. We believe the damage done by potential misuse of this kind of law far outweighs any benefit that lawmakers claim would come from it.
ExpressVPN refuses to participate in the Indian government’s attempts to limit internet freedom. As a company focused on protecting privacy and freedom of expression online, we will continue to fight to keep users connected to the open and free internet with privacy and security, no matter where they are located.
The company added that it will never collect logs of user activity, including no logging of browsing history, traffic destination, data Content, or DNS queries. It said it never stored connection logs, meaning no logs of IP addresses, outgoing VPN IP addresses, connection timestamps, or session durations.
Essentially, it means the VPN company claimed never to store or collect any data that could identify an individual & their Online activity as outlined in its Privacy Policy.
