Many companies have pulled physical servers from the country as a
mandate to collect customer data goes into effect.

Ahead of the deadline to comply with the Indian government�s new data-
collection rules, VPN companies from across the globe have pulled
their servers out of the country in a bid to protect their users�
privacy.

Starting today, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, or CERT�a
body appointed by the Indian government to deal with cybersecurity and
threats�will require VPN operators to collect and maintain customer
information including names, email addresses, and IP addresses for at
least five years, even after they have canceled their subscription or
account.
