Which is ok, the point of privacy protection is to control who you're sharing personal information with. Such as accepting to sharing KYC with infomaniak shouldn't imply your personal information and user information is shared with 3rd parties. It's not an anonymous hosting company

In their defence, tons of abuse happens and forces providers to check identity. I’m not saying there’s no other way, but any hosting company I’ve worked it has strict limits until you verify your identity.

I was blocked from using their services because they required a phone OTP-based check and for some reason their OTPs did not reach past my provider. I only got it to work after opening an account with another internet provider.
In their website[1] you can read about their true "privacy" behavior:
> identity verification procedure may be triggered in the following cases (non-exhaustive list):
> - forgetting an Infomaniak account password (user account)
> - forgetting a login email address
> - deactivation of double authentication (2FA)
> - unlocking an Infomaniak account
> - during the first transfer of revenue for the product Ticketing
> - when ordering a product (suspicion of spam or fraud, brand name, etc.)
The same page also says the process may require mandatory geolocation, choosing ID card or passport, photographing the document, and taking a selfie with it.
