I think the company is Canadian but I haven't checked. BuyVM was defnitely Canadian and was run by the same guy. You have to assume that email is never private anyway, since the person at the other end probably is on gmail, may have used CrapGPT, and so on.
Hm, interesting. The website at least doesn't look to me like it's Canadian:
Of course it could still be, and email privacy is of course endangered by many other things. However, if someone does go through the hassle of shifting everything to a different email account, I would say best make sure to get a safe distance from the US right off the bat.
I think it's similar with buyvm.net which is definitely Canadian, but I'm looking into it.
