Ice Privacy

Currently, we already have some companies that offer us privacy-focused products, such as Proton, Tutanota, Mullvad, and others, but a short while ago I found one that I've never seen anyone talk about called Ice Privacy.
From what I've researched, they've been on this path since 2019 and currently have two services. The first is Ice Drive, a cloud drive that gives out 10GB for free (although I heard they reduced it to 3GB) and focuses on privacy, with features like end-to-end encryption and two-factor authentication. They store your files with zero-knowledge encryption, and they also offer lifetime plans.
The other product is Ice VPN. I admit I haven't researched this one as much, but from what I've seen, it's a VPN that promises to keep as little user data as possible (something like MullvadVPN), and the data they do obtain is stored with 256-bit encryption.
Their company is located in Gibraltar (a British Overseas Territory located in Europe), which has good privacy laws.
The point of this post is to ask you guys if you've ever heard of Ice Privacy?
I understand that when it comes to privacy, it's good to choose companies that have been on the market for a long time and have the trust of their customers, but for a company to grow, someone needs to take the first step and use their products.
I'm not saying we should just go out and use all their products and join the company's ecosystem, but rather that we should add it to our arsenal of defense weapons regarding privacy.
The only thing I didn't find interesting is the fact that they don't have Mastodon accounts or a community on Lemmy, and although they have subreddits for IceDrive and IceVPN, they aren't mentioned on the company's website (that is, if they are actually official).

Knowing this information, will you give them a chance? If you've ever used any of their products, what did you think?
