"VPN Data

What we store: Time stamp and IP address when you connect and
disconnect to our service."

...

"Legalities

Anonymity services such as ours do not exist to hide people from
illegal activity. We will cooperate with law enforcement agencies if
it has become evident that your account has been used for illegal
activities."

people should read the TOC, AUP and privacy policy especially if they
are planning to use that service for illegal activities.

As I mentioned before it is hard to expect that a VPN provider will
risk his company for your $11.52/month, and maybe they would try it
for some lesser case, but what Lulsec did was grant, so I'm not
surprised that they bent.
