Proton logs users IP addresses and shares with law enforcement https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58476983
As with any EU company, the Swiss government can compel them to keep logs for an individual user in the case of serious crime. You can use Tor as Proton recommends for that exact use case.
But by default Proton does not keep logs of IP addresses.
Switzerland is not in the EU.
They have extremely similar laws in Switzerland
Like all others, as it's a legal obligation. But they can't give a lot more, as the mail themselves are encrypted.
I don't care about that. I assume all sites keeps logs.
