      The creators of MullvadVPN or their identities are not prominently disclosed, which means you have to trust them. For all we know they could be working with Swedish law enforcement or other nations and you’d never know.

      It’s safe to assume they were not providing data to anyone at the time, and perhaps they are not now. Thing is that you don’t know that, and it’s a relationship fundamentally based on trust. There’s nothing wrong with trusting a company like Mullvad, but it is just trust in the end.
