... in a way that you, as a customer, can detect.

1. You can't have any hard guarantees about what information is retained by third parties about you.

2. As other comments here have pointed out, something smells a bit weird with this.

How profound. So what is your alternate theory of what is happening here?

My theory is that if you need an iron-clad guarantee of privacy, you're not going to get it from a VPN.

If you're interested in hiding from civil snoops (RIAA, MPAA), by all means, use one. If you're interested in hiding from a government, then by all means, keep rolling the honeypot dice.
