Servers in country
Providers with exit locations in Cape Verde: a server here gives you an address in the country. The register’s table records no mandate for VPN operators here; the briefing below sets out what the law asks of providers.
Only a few providers publish an exit here.
Providers with exit locations in a country — a fact about a network, kept deliberately apart from where the company is registered. Only providers whose country list has a source appear: a provider that publishes nothing simply does not show up, which is a criterion already in the data rather than an editorial one.
Cape Verde’s Lei n.º 8/IX/2017, in force since March 2017, covers cybercrime, the collection of digital evidence and international cooperation in criminal matters. A 2001 personal-data law, supervised by a national data-protection commission, limits how long identifying data may be kept.
According to the Council of Europe, Lei n.º 8/IX/2017, in force since March 2017, contains provisions on cybercrime, on the collection of digital evidence and on international cooperation in criminal matters, and was drawn up in line with the Budapest Convention.
The general personal-data law, Lei n.º 133/V/2001, as amended by Lei n.º 41/VIII/2013 and republished with Lei n.º 121/IX/2021, requires that data be kept in a form identifying the person only for the period needed for the purposes of processing (art. 6(1)(e)). Whether a VPN operator is a service provider within these provisions is not established.
Under Lei n.º 133/V/2001 a data subject may obtain, on request, the rectification, erasure or blocking of data that are incomplete, inexact or kept in a way incompatible with the legitimate purposes of the controller (art. 12(5)).
Lei n.º 8/IX/2017 contains the country’s cybercrime provisions and rules on collecting digital evidence. The Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to a good name, honour and reputation, image and the reserve of personal and family life (art. 41).
The Constitution regulates the use of computer means and the protection of personal data in article 45. The data-protection commission (CNPD) was created by Lei n.º 42/VIII/2013 and its statute amended by Lei n.º 120/IX/2021.
Under the amended statute it must be consulted on legislative initiatives and regulatory measures touching personal data, and courts must send it copies of judgments on data-protection law. The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.
Cape Verde
Only a provider that publishes a country list appears here at all — 41 of the 77 on file. The other 27 are not missing research: they publish no list, and U02_server_countries is unknown for them rather than filled from the number their marketing claims.
A provider that says “100+ countries” and enumerates none gets no page on any of them, and the count printed on its own record is the length of the list, never the claim. With 41 providers behind 180 countries, the long tail of these pages carries one or two rows.
