![]() Section 1 of the Police, the security police or customs and Excise may, under the conditions set out in this law, in intelligence activities in secret from the person under the Act(2003:389) on electronic communications provides a electronic communications network and/or an electronic communication service to obtain data on If we take a look at the law governing Swedish police that allows them to request data from companies, (2012:278) For Collecting Data On Electronic Communications In Law Enforcement Intelligence Operations (Translated page), Section 1 defines who this law applies to (emphasis and notes mine) Taken as a whole, a VPN provider is considered by definition as an "electronic communications service" and is exempt from the LEK. ![]() "electronic communications service" means service normally provided for remuneration which consists wholly or mainly in the conveyance of signals on electronic communication networks,Įlectronic communications network "means transmission systems and in where applicable, switching or routing equipment and passive network elements and other resources which permit the conveyance of signals, by wire or by radio, by optical or by other electromagnetic media regardless of the type of information transmitted, The law does not apply to content that is transmitted in electronic communications networks using electronic communications services.
