How do you figure that? A US company (especially one who is only providing
VPN services, so is not an ISP) is not subject to data retention..?

Or do you mean data retention from the VPN provider's colo provider?  In
that case yes, but think of the number of sessions coming out behind that
one IP address - it's not going to be overly useful?

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
