I see from the company’s privacy page that people in “protected” states can have their data removed, but I assume that’s only data used for advertising/marketing…not data collected/shared for the purpose of tossing you out of the country. Anyone know if there’s a way to exclude yourself from this database? (I doubt it since they’re saying it’s for legal purposes, but you never know.)

I use ProtonVPN and have to turn it off to log into my bank, credit card, and other financial institutions. Also I seem to have to do a lot more Captcha puzzles than I used to, and have had online orders flagged as suspicious. in some cases, it seems like they’re just trying to protect your accounts. In others, it seems like they’re throwing a hissy fit because they feel they have a God-given right to your private data.
