Important Inaccuracy in the NextDNS privacy policy
Problem:
When you first signup for the NextDNS service. Logging is enabled by default and stored for 3 months on US servers.
This is in direct contradiction to what is very prominently stated in the privacy policy:
If not specifically requested by the user, no data is logged
Proposed Solutions
There are two simple fixes, either:
1. Align the defaults with the privacy policy: Change the defaults so that logging is an opt-in feature (or the user is asked for their preference during account creation).
2. Or, align the privacy policy with the defaults: Change the language of the privacy policy (remove the misleading statement that 'no data is logged if not specifically requested by the user').
My preference is option #1, but either solution would solve the contradiction in the privacy policy.
Supporting Evidence:
- Screencast showing logs enabled by default without being "specifically requested by default"
- Privacy Policy

As a first step, can someone connected with NextDNS at least acknowledge you are aware of the problem?

This discussion came up on our forums.
I reached out to NextDNS, via email, and to their staff account on this forum, but never got an answer.
