These records are kept for 30 days to help the company deal with billing issues and to address crimes (as required by Swiss law) performed while using the service. If any of this makes you uncomfortable, you’ll want to take your VPN needs elsewhere. That said, the Swiss do well to balance the issue of law enforcement and the right to online privacy. Your information, provided you’re not caught committing a crime, will be safe.
