Servers in country
Providers with exit locations in St. Lucia: 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.
Saint Lucia’s Interception of Communications Act sends every interception direction to a High Court judge, while the power to demand communications data from a telecommunications provider belongs to the Minister responsible for national security or a person the Minister designates, acting on a written notice rather than a court order.
The Interception of Communications Act (Act 31 of 2005) lets a designated person, the Minister responsible for national security or someone the Minister designates by order, give a telecommunications provider a written notice to disclose communications data it holds or can obtain (section 24).
The notice must be necessary on stated grounds, including national security, public order and the prevention or detection of a scheduled offence, and cannot reach data obtained more than a month after it is issued. A telecommunications provider is a person who operates a telecommunications network or provides a telecommunications service (section 2). The Computer Misuse Act (Act 12 of 2011) contains no standing duty to keep data; it works by order.
A judge in chambers may, on an ex parte application, order preservation of data including traffic data and subscriber information (section 16), production of subscriber information from a service provider (section 18), or collection and recording of traffic data with the provider’s help (section 20). A service provider is any person providing an information and communication service, including a telecommunications service. Whether a VPN operator falls within either Act is not established.
The Computer Misuse Act makes indecent photographs of children an offence (section 14).
Section 15 of the Computer Misuse Act forbids using a computer to send a message or article that is indecent or obscene, constitutes a threat or is menacing in character, with intent to cause, or recklessness as to causing, annoyance, inconvenience, distress or anxiety. On summary conviction the fine is up to $10,000 or three months’ imprisonment or both, rising to $20,000 or six months for a repeat offence.
Unauthorised access to computer data and unauthorised interception of a computer service are separate offences (sections 5 and 7). An account is traced through the provider: a judge in chambers may order production of subscriber information (section 18) or the recording of traffic data (section 20), and a ministerial notice under the Interception Act may demand communications data (section 24).
The Act applies to acts in Saint Lucia, on registered ships and aircraft, and by citizens abroad where the conduct is also an offence there (section 4).
An interception direction is issued only by a High Court judge who is satisfied that it is necessary for national security, public order, public morality, public safety, public health, a scheduled offence or a mutual legal assistance agreement, and that other procedures have failed, are too dangerous or are impracticable (section 5).
A Tribunal consisting of one judge appointed by the Chief Justice hears complaints about conduct under the Act and may award compensation or order destruction of records held about a person (sections 30 and 31). Communications data may leave the country: the Minister may direct disclosure to a foreign government where an agreement for the mutual exchange of that kind of information exists and the Minister considers disclosure in the public interest (section 24).
The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.
St. Lucia
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.
