HMA VPN logs are now kept for up to 2 years

[box750]

I have been looking at Hide My Ass privacy policy for the last years and it has changed a few times, their official blog does not really announces when that happens. I remember when HMA privacy policy said 7 days log retention when they first launched their VPN service, it would later increase to 30 days and now I find out that it says UP TO TWO YEARS of log retention, this can be extended under exceptional circumstances.

How about iVPN? I saw a thread on here from last year that discusses it and at the time it appeared they kept logs from U.S. based users. After reading this article and their terms, it appears they do not keep logs from anyone.

well what do you expect. Hide My Ass is a UK US based VPN. Only noobs would use a UK or US based VPN service.

Are US based VPN services also keeping logs?

I was thinking that unlike a lot of countries, US didn't require that.

They are definitely not a VPN for anonymity! They are only good for encrypting your data, and bypassing filtering of censored contact. I wonder if the Government if paying them for all the customers they have to be losing.
