No data ( emails, passwords, drive files ) were shared with the authorities. So the data is still secure and private. As far as I can tell they haven't falsely advertised. I'd give them bonus points for transparency ( publishing how many court ordered subpoenas they receive on a yearly basis ) compared to other companies that don't. Other companies which are prominent in the privacy/secure email scene face similar issues. E.g.: https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2021/03/enough-is-enough-what-happens-when-law-enforcement-bends-laws-to-access-data/ I think you're mixing up anonymity with privacy.
