This sounds like an advertising company. A person's inbox is the holy grail of info about them.

I don't think I want to use this company for my email. Change my mind?

The company is based in Switzerland and is French speaking. Any chance "AdVite" means something different in French?

Apart from that, their website states pretty clearly their privacy policy [1] and other terms [2]. It doesn't look like there is anything shady going on here.

I don't personally use Migadu but I've had it bookmarked as the "service I would probably use if/when the day comes".

Perhaps they pivoted from inception. There are references in their company registration to advertising and marketing though the entire company plan is /very/ broad and encompassed pretty much any IT/online service.

No, it doesn't mean something different in French.

It doesn't mean anything in French actually. Nothing related to ads either.
