You are mixing a whole lot subjects here. The Eyes. First of all it's about inquiries. To return something, the VPN service must have something. If the VPN does not log and is not required by law nor a court order (yet), then there's nothing to be said about a user. Even if God asked. The next step: if e.g. US intelligence wanted something, they would need to ask Italian intelligence service who then need to do the groundwork: either by legal means (fast track and preferred courts/judges? probably possible) or literally wiretapping. Don't forget, these animals are more equal than others and are above law. Wiretapping is infeasible because they don't know what exact client on the input side corresponds to the looked for data on the outside (in other words, good luck trying to determine the suspect based on encrypted VPN traffic). Maybe if they control both the website the suspect interacts with AND are wiretapping the server then it may be possible over a long period of time. However it'd be easier for them to force the admins in one way or another. The result remains to be seen (hopefully never). If you are not the next Snowden (noble purpose) or another political target then you don't have to worry about literal state intelligence services. Enjoy being yet another John Doe nobody cares about GDPR is supposed to "protect" user data from themselves other companies. Example: AirVPN not allowed to sell your identity info to advertisers. However Facebook/Google don't need to sell/buy user data because they collect it themselves and can show targetted ads without sending your data to a 3rd company. GDPR is not meant to protect you against the state/police. They want ALL your information if they could. If any information is saved, a legal request is enough. SOL From reading the about/FAQ it was very clear what kind of Free and Open Internet AirVPN stands for and which part of that movement they are. Basically: don't be evil. Can't say it in plaintext because the Big Brother is watching. Disclaimer: the above is my understanding and I'm not a lawyer. Though ask yourself: what a sad world we're living in if you need to be a lawyer just to reason about laws concerning every single individual...
