Hide My Email privacy

I'm wondering, when I use this feature, does Apple store my emails? If so, for how long? Do they guarantee to deny any request made by non-US government to spy on my communications (I'm not a US citizen)? I couldn't find any official document that would explain it, I would be grateful for any help.

How to find where my Apple ID is being used I keep getting emails about my Apple ID being used in another country, I want to find out how to stop it. I’ve tried to change my ID but it won’t let me change my emails around. I don’t want to end up charged for something that didn’t buy, or something.

Hide my email reveals real email when responding to recipient I used hide my email. I got a response from the company sent to the hide my email address. We’re good there. But then, I responded back and they have my REAL EMAIL!!!!! I know this because they respond they have no record of my purchase and to give them my email that was used when I purchased. Sure enough, they didn’t have THAT email. So what gives? I swear. Aren’t there people who are supposed to think all this through?

Security and privacy Hello Community, i need to speak to someone about the problem i have with privacy and security on my Apple Mac mini and my iPhone 13 pro. Both of these items let me down when it comes to security and privacy. The contents of my communication by email is accessed by others and the same goes for my iPhone. I know this because those who hack my Apple mac email confront me on the contents of my email correspondence. The same problem I have with my new iPhone 13 pro. Hackers make contact with those i communicate with very soon after i call. Both the Apple products are new and the reason i purchased those is because of the privacy problems I have on line. A while back I contacted Apple regarding my security problems and they recommended i use "hide my email" that is not working. It would seem that i cannot contact anyone on line without interference. Hoping i can find a solution. Thank you for listening.

From the article below.

Apple doesn't read or process any of the content in the email messages that pass through Hide My Email, except to perform standard spam filtering that's required to maintain our status as a trusted email provider. All email messages are deleted from our relay servers after they're delivered to you, usually within seconds.
