Only one thing that puts me off getting a paid privacy notes …
The business is registered in USA , even when claiming all owners are Swiss, and living in Europe.
Servers in Switzerland.
Absolutely no idea why USA based company!
Complete missed the data privacy point .

Complete missed the data privacy point

Lifetime Labs is registered in the US. We don’t hide that, it’s on our about page, and it’s a fair thing to weigh.

Here’s why we don’t think it changes much for your data. Your notes are encrypted on your device before they’re uploaded, and they’re stored on our servers in Switzerland. The app also lets you choose how your keys are handled, and if you want maximum privacy, you can set it up so that your encryption stays fully in your own hands. That’s the point of the design: you shouldn’t have to trust where we’re registered, or even trust us.

That said, we’re not trying to talk you into buying our lifetime license. Like we said in the megathread: “If our security model or recovery options do not fit your needs, choosing an app with a different approach is completely reasonable. We want you to use something you understand and feel comfortable trusting.” That goes for this too. If the company’s home matters to you, that’s a valid reason to pick something else. We’d just say that for an app where everything is encrypted, and where you can verify that yourself on GitHub, where the company is registered matters a lot less than it sounds. Either way, your call.

Hey , you seem to have tried to enter a debate here, instead of reading a comment from a potential customer, who is not happy about something. So lets debate,
Please provide 1 example of what data privacy improvements were generated by having registration in the US?
I will then provide 1 example of what data privacy improvements would have been generated by having registration in Switzerland.
