    I hear a lot of criticism about them pretending to be private and not actually protecting user’s data

      All companies located in the west are not private. They have to operate according to the local laws, and those laws allows governments and agencies to get the data they ask for.

      But depends on what you mean with private also. It’s private in a way that they don’t sell your data perhaps.

      Every company in the world will comply with local laws. What you can do its use Tor to access it so your IP address its safe. Send emails only inside the Proton Network so its end to end encrypted. Use a strong and a Yubikey to access it. But even with all of this if you are doing something highly illegal they will catch you. So understand this there no service in the world that will protect you.
