I see a lot of scrutiny in the comments, but the simple fact is that they are actively trying to secure their users data to whatever extent they can. This shows a great form of care from a company and pushes me as a consumer to use them. Yes Iceland has had reports of letting the US pull drives before. No I wouldn't think to plant my servers in Iceland. But the fact that they are considering all of this is a big big + in my opinion.

Most countries who have INTL fiber cables running in/out of them will have a direct link to a "surveillance" country, but as long as encryption is sufficient then the data is still relatively secure. and pulling RAM to inspect the memory is a pretty hard thing to get away from.

I think this is as thoughtful as it gets when considering user and company privacy.
